Bottle; poured a copper-orange color with a big fluffy head. Aroma of spice, caramel and gingerbread. Flavor had a lot of tartness to it, which others have commented on. Spicy oxidized taste. Not too good.

Bottle, courtesy IBrew2or3. Orange copper pour, slime white head, lacing is soft on the glass. Lots of spices, some tart nose. Flavor is spicy, pumpkin, big tart oxidation, some electricity and metal. Thin and bad. Like bin Laden.

Bottle courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Pours a dark orange amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is malty and spicy with light notes of pumpkin, bread, some sweetness and grain. Flavor is strangely tart with notes of grass, yeast, spice, some funk. Generally medium body with a quick, uninteresting finish. Unusual beer.

Pours hazy copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma has notes of sweetness, grains, sugar, a bit of pumpkin, floral hops and a touch of cinnamon. The taste is similar, too bad, with a layer of odd tartness followed by some malts, mild hops, a bit of metal and very little pumpkin, if any.

I don’t recall where I purchased this 22 ounce bottle. Aroma is appropriate. Spicy, brown sugar sweetness with some nutmeg and light pumpkin. Fairly sweet. Dark golden body with a small, off white head and scant lacing. Starts sweet and sugary, then becoming extremely carbonated with a little spiciness, perhaps ginger. There is a bit of lingering burnt flavor and an unpleasant sensation that this leaves on the back of the tongue.

Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Consumed over the Holidays. Pours a hazy gold with an orange hue. Nose was very herbal with pumpkin spice and nutmeg. A decent Pumpkin brew.

Bottle thanks to hopscotch. Pours with a small, foamy white head and a hazed orange body. Okay lacing. Aroma is husky with notes of cheap malt, vegetables, tobacco, pumpkin, sharp nutmeg and B.O. Taste is B.O. with nuts, vegetables, sharp spices, astringent nutmeg. Very grainy and husky. Bone dry mouthfeel and a bit fizzy. Not a fan.
