Bottle shared at a tasting. Pours a clear red with a thin head. Poor head retention. Aroma of toffee, biscuit malt, spice, cinnamon, booze. The taste is caramel, raisin, toffee, booze, mild citrus. Medium bodied, hot.

The Beer Store, Southampton, PA bottle: Pours murky orange with a whitish head. Aroma is sugar, bretty funk, and some dirt. Taste is on the sweeter side for a brett saison (I’m thinking that maybe it is because this a summer beer and this beer just been developing since then). Nice earthy finish. Still, the sweetness in this kind of makes me not like it as much. Slightly sour. Meh.

Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a tulip at a bottle share last month.
The appearance was a nice looking bronzed orange color with a thin slim quarter finger white foamy head that quickly died off. Barely any lacing.
The smell had a strong big authentic pumpkin with a delicate ginger spice and a light vanilla rolling through.
The taste copied the smell and carried a nice sweet pumpkin but a delicate ginger spice that I really liked.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a good sessionability maybe leaning towards the sipping quality. The carbonation was extremely smooth and good.
Overall, what a nice imperialized pumpkin ale. If I lived in its distro, I’d probably be buying this all of the time. Good stuff.

GABF 2014. I don’t have a lot to say about it one. Standard pumpkin pie spices; cinnamon; cloves. Sweet, and it pulls off the traditional pumpkin beer well. Brown color.

GABF 2014. Yellow of course. Well carbonated, with lots of bubbles on the tongue. Moderately sour for the style with some wheat. Sold effort.

GABF 2014. Pours a clear yellow appearance with a white head. Fairly high tartness and effervescence. Guava, passion fruit, and pineapple fruity notes. Champagne-like carbonation. Not bad.
