Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours copper with an off-white head. Aroma of pie spice an veg. Near med body. It’s pie spice, veg, and maybe a chocolate note. Lots of cinnamon. Fairly bitter - unless the spice is confusing me. I’d say it’s one of the better pie spice beers - setting aside the top 50 or so. Certainly drinkable.

12oz bottle pours up with a clear amber body that supports a tan head of foam. The aroma offers up modest winter spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to go along with a thin pumpkin like sensation. The taste has a near overzealous degree of winter spices that are immune to the tempering effects of a thin malty sweetness and a mild pumpkin pulse here and there. Decent but it could tone down the spices a bit and bring up the body and the pumpkin.
