Pours a dark amber from a bottle. Pumpkin and light spice aroma and flavor, I've had better tasting pumpkin beers better though. Okay beer.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle: Poured a blonde color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet Belgian malt notes with some bready yeast and residual candi sugar notes. Taste is also a nice mix of bready yeast with some sweet Belgian malt and nice residual candi sugar notes. Body is about average for style with excellent carbonation. Another excellent beer form a style with no secret for this brewer.

Bottle from the TJ's in Davis, CA. Pours clear copper with a yellowish head. Aroma has lots of pie spice. Med body. Flavor is very pie spice. The spice nearly burns with cinnamon. Ok, an exageration, but lots of spice. Not quite dry. Spice substitutes for hop bitter. One of the nicer, more flavorful ones from the style.
