Purchased on my trip to Vegas at the Total Wine store. First of two pumpkin ales tonight (the other being the Wasatch). Pours a hazy amber-golden colour with a fizzy off-white that disappears quickly and leaves a bit of lacing. Mild aromas of pumpkin and spices (nutmeg, cinnamon). Thin mouthfeel with just a little stickiness. Again, the taste is mild with the Halloween vegetable and spices (not much cinnamon in the flavours though). Not a bad pumpkin ale coming from AB.

Draft @ the local sports bar. Nothing going to surprise you here. Lively in carbonation. Light wheat beer taste. Not much different than the normal Shock Top but the cinnamon and nutmeg help it. I never would have guessed pumpkin if I didn’t know beforehand. I would say a watery butternut squash. Anyway…. Ok. A bit better than I would have guessed with AB making this stuff.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy cantaloupe with a medium off-white head that collapses pretty fast. Pumpkin pie spices are strong in the nose, but it smells like they’re backing a bland macro malt bill. Tastes like....V8?? There’s seriously a tomatoey-like vegetable flavor in here. WTF is in this thing? I also detect a little bit of a chemical flavor. High carbonation--too fizzy. Not all that bad, just really weird.

Pours slightly hazed deep amber into a shaker. White head recedes at a medium pace leaving no lacing. Sweet pumpkin and nutmeg aromas. Dry with bubblegum and pumpkin upfront turning to earthy pumpkin before the lasting slightly sour finish.

I had this while camping out with some friends at the Indiana Dunes State Park. I had this during the night, so I can’t really comment on the appearance. If anything, this tastes like Shock Top but with a slight hint of pumpkin, and when I say slight I mean SLIGHT. I think they just tried to get in on the pumpkin beer season and figured they’d just add a small bit of pumpkin flavoring to their already popular offering. Meh.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a huge foamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faint dry nutmeg, dust and a hint of cinnamon. The flavor was bitter and tart with sourdough bread and faint notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and dust. The finish was medium length dry spices. Medium body. Ok.

Big thanks to my son in law nate for this brew. Smells a little alky, like old lager. A little pumpkin and spice on the taste buds but tastes moslty like other shock tops. Background with a little orange and wheat, very little pumpkin.
