Bottle from jcwattsrugger, thanks for the opportunity! Pours a hazy deep golden color with a decent sized but quickly fading bubbly white head, Sweet bready malt aroma mixed with a fair amount of light fruit and hints of spice. The flavor is sweet bready malt with a bit more yeasty flavors than the aroma suggested. Light citric tartness and fruit round us out nicely. Medium body with a moderate to high level of carbonation. A bit fuller in body than I normally associate with a summer brew, but honestly I’d rather drink this!

Peculier Pub, NYC tap: Pours light brown with a light tan head. Aroma is cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie, and sugary malts. Taste is sweet, but not too much. Very low levels of bitterness. It is a respectable pumpkin ale.
