| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 5, 2008 22oz bottle.
Poured a medium and slightly hazy orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pumpkins and spices -cinnamon, nutmeg, and others-. pices on the heavier side. Tastes of pumpkins and the same spices. I would say this one was definitely leaning on towards the spices vs. the pumpkin although the pumpkin was present. This one also had a light tart and sour finish. hopscotch (5504), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
