12oz bottle pours a hazy orange with a ring of eggshell head. Nose has some spice... but it doesn’t bowl you over like other ’pumpkin’ beers do, sweet potato pie, orange, fairly intense honey comb notes. Flavor has heavy honey, heavy orange, some mild cinnamon, some mild cardamom, a little nutmeg. Fairly watery finish. Finishes with a bit of Cinnamon Toast Crunch on the palate, late. You know, it’s not as good as the mainstream pumpkin bombs, but the nuanced nature is appreciated.

12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Nice clear amber color with just under a finger of off-white head. Aromas of graham cracker, pumpkin and pie filling, spices. Tastes of pumpkin, graham cracker, spices, a little caramel. Medium body with a dry finish. Smells a bit better than it tastes but pretty good!

12oz bottle, picked up from local Total Wine - Fairfax. I actually didn’t realize this would be a pumpkin beer, instead I was going to treat this as a beer to break up a day full of pumpkin beers. But I was pleasantly surprised. This poured a nice clear amber color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was pumpkin pie spices - lots of nutmeg, cinnamon, some touches of allspice. Gourd notes as well. Very crisp, enjoyable. Quite good. Going to see if I can get a six pack of this one.
