Taster at Tap It, in Indian Land, SC. It pours a clear, deep reddish color with a small white head and fair retention. Fair lacing. There's a light spice aroma, but not really a pumpkin beer spice aroma. The taste follows the nose: It's more of a spiced ale than it is a pumpkin ale. It has a little cinnamon and maybe some nutmeg, but it's definitely different than your standard pumpkin ale. That said, I like it. It's very smooth and easy drinking, and a little different than your typical pumpkin beer. Medium-light body. Very, very low carbonation, and low bitterness.

Month old can
A: Bubbly pale yellow with a short thick head. Pretty good retention.
S: Grassy herbs and sweet fresh bread.
T: Follows the nose closely with the sweetness a bit more pronounced but a surprising amount of herbal hop bitterness.
M: Light and clean with prickly carbonation. Extremely crushable.
O: Tasty balance of flavors and refreshing texture. Quite respectable.

I’m getting beer advice from a lady who’s eyebrows are both drawn on, and halfway up her forehead. This is the best vacation I’ve ever had.

Cheap can, less than 3$. Pours like a dirty pale pond water, frothy head pale ale. Light grapefruit nose. Lots of initial carbonation biting the tongue. I like that in a crisp IPA. Tho a solid IPA, the sizzling carbo-co2 makes a brightly hopped IPA even better. Such a refreshing palate directly out of the can, yum. Yes there is some bitterness but I can overlook the usually thick IPA hops impression with some foaming action across tongue and down the hole. Its like its washing away the hand soap hop flavor down into the tummy, leaving a clean fresh palate. It seems this is flavored; maybe that can account for likability of this pale ale. The added flavors are nice hiding and well balanced not to be in yer face. I usually use IPAs as a tick, but this session was not rude. There, you have it.
