Supposedly this is done in the style of Duvel, so I guess I’ll use a Duvel glass. Growler from the brewery filled about 45 minutes ago. Pours a hazy orange-tinted lemon yellow color with a large white frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of doughy bread, yeast, peach, lime and other citrus, and caramel. Taste is also very bready with an almost nutty vibe. Some citrus, plum and berries with strong bitter hop notes. Strongly carbonated. Medium bodied.

Served on nitro tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear ruby-brown color with a typical tan nitro head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma is chocolate, lightly roasted malts and coffee. The pumpkin notes are very faint, and as this is a chocolatey beer anyways it doesn’t add too much of an extra dimension. The taste is milk chocolate, bitter, banana and pumpkin with a bitter leafy hop finish. Smooth, medium bodied. A nice effort but this could use more of the pumpkin flavor.

Draft: Woody caramel and dandelion bouquet. Clear orange pour, medium yellow head and excellent lacing. Thin-medium body tasting of generic creamy bitterness. Woody finish. Nice beer and an IPA more of the English variety than American.

Clear copper color, foaming head. Light perfume nose, a touch spicy. Clean balanced flavor profile, with sweet bready malts, light bitterness that balances, minimal hop flavors. Reminds alot of Yuengling, only a little better!
