Very hazy, beautiful amber and copper coloured body with a rich orange and bronzed glow, all under a two centimetre tall, rich tan head that stays afloat for a while. Aroma of nice spices with nutmeg and allspice both noticeable along with some good caramelised sugars and toffee scents, but the squash and malt notes are the strongest, in a good way with a great scent. Medium to Full-bodied; Super rich squash and malt profile shows at first with a great body and some nice spices noticeable, along with some good sweetness from the squash, but also noticeable is some caramelised sugars and toffee notes. Aftertaste is rich as well with a tiny bit of coffee noticeable, but the spices and especially the squash flavours dominate, in a good way, with a great richness and soft vanilla and creaminess at the very end. Overall, a nice and enjoyable squash-based beer with tons of flavour and a good level of both spices and sweetness. Great to sample and quite surprising that this good of a beer was made under the Dunkin Donuts logo/Harpoon brand, but this was great and an almost perfect representation of a 'Pumpkin' based beer. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Giant Food in Alexandria (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 22-October-2020 for US$1,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 13-December-2020.
