Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-caramel color with a medium sized orange-tan head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sour and tangy with strong nutmeg and cinnamon. The flavor was tangy, bready and earthy with definite pumpkin and moderate notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. There was a light toasted caramel undertone. Medium length tangy caramel, bread and cinnamon. Solid.

Draft Barn, Brooklyn tap ($6): Purchased this as Lionshead IPA, but this appears to be the same beer according to my research, but if not, please correct me. Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is bland and normal IPA. Taste is attenuated IPA. There ain’t nothing in here that you wouldn’t or shouldn’t expect.

Shared a 12oz bottle. Poured a medium orange color with a slightly off-white head. Aroma was spices, some pumpkin notes. Flavor was pumpkin notes, pie characteristics there too. About average but drinkable.

Pours mostly clear medium yellow with a quickly falling white head. Grainy aroma with a touch of wet dog. The flavor is not much of anything good or bad, just no flavor. It does have a nice dry finish however.

PA bottle from Half Time. Pours darkish gold with a slight creamy white head. Aroma is primarily bready. Med minus body. Chewy carb. Flavor is slightly sweetly bready. There’s some bitter in the finish, but it doesn’t taste very nice.
