Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a hazy golden-apricot color with a medium sized foamy tan head that left good lacing. The aroma was strong sweet pine, pineapple, grapefruit and fruit cocktail. The flavor was sweet and bitter fruit cocktail, pine, and catbox. The finish was long and bitter with lingering fruit cocktail and pine though turning a bit dry at the end. Moderately full bodied and the alcohol was well hidden. Nice.

The aroma was tart vague citrus and apple. The flavor was tart and tangy wood, apple and a touch of perfume. Long tangy and fruity finish. Medium body. Ok.

Sampled on draft at the brewpub this beer poured a medium caramel color with a large foamy tan head that left great lacing. The aroma was dryish and a bit sour with a moderate coffee note. The flavor was sour, bitter and burnt coffee - like the coffee they used to serve at McDonalds which was always more like vaguely coffee flavored battery acid - so yeah, this was not a good flavor at all. Long sour and burnt McDonalds coffee finish. Medium body.

On tap at the bocktown monaca, nice place tho the girl at the bar sometimes gets mixed up. Does have some pumpky spice aroma. Initially I detect some wild attributes which I like. Much better than most run of the mill punky beers, quite like-able. Easy and friendly with some not so ove the top roasty stout attitudes. Some pumpkin spice in the finish lingers for a while. Yes, one of the better punky beers out there. Nice to have a decent tasting pumpkin beer for a change.

On tap. This beer is everywhere it must be there main offering now, a good choice. A clear amber color with a medium white head. A fresh hop nose with some earthiness. The flavor is a nice fresh fruity and bitter hop, very clean, tasty, light apricot. Oranges. Good, big flavor.
