super clear bronze. THis head. Nose was buttery at first with spices then exhibiting a peak at actual pumpkin aromas. Flavors were pretty orward with the pumpkin pie spices but lacking strong pumpkin characteristics. Other than spice, pretty malty beer of caramel & toffee. The lack of any pronounced hop character makes it just taste like a muddled spice concoction and there’s not much good character to the beer at all. It’s drinkable though but certainly not something to look forward to in November.

Pours a clear dark amber with fair off white head and decent retention. Aroma of dish water and light nutmeg. Flavor vaguely reminds of pumpkins, but has a cloying sweetness. Kind of bad actually. Pass.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of the Binny’s Singles Rack (Orland Park, IL). Another beer I have put off and finally decided to ’’Slum it’’ with. Pour is a decent dark amber pour, minimal head that almost completely dissappears. No lacing really. Aromas are nice but a bit light, consisting of some decent brown sugar sweetness, a touch of cinnamon, and some pumpkin. Taste is a bit more dissappointing, taste is in the body where vague notes of cinnamon and pumpkin dance around but take a effort to fully notice. Too light of a taste to be a beer I can praise, especially considering the style it attempts to be. Bitter finish that I somewhat enjoy, but loses smoothness points. Where is the taste, Coors?!

Bottle poured a clear dark orange with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, pumpkin and light spice. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, pumpkin and light spice with a smooth spiced finish

After a nice nose, just an average attempt at a seasonal. More pumpkin in the aroma than on the tongue. Although there is enough gourd for labelling purposes.

~Pours a clear amber color with big fluffy white head. ~Scent of pumpkin pie, malts, nutmeg, cinnamon, and bread. ~Flavor of rusted metal, pumpkin and malt. Very light spice. ~Creamy mouth feel, smooth finish. ~The scent was promising. Unfortunately, I think the bottle got the best of this one. Still drinkable and enjoyable though. Just wish I could have purchased a fresher batch.

Aroma of malt and a hint of spice. Poured golden-red amber with a white head and a slight lace. Wasn’t impressed with the flavor, as it only really consisted of malt, nutmeg, and a slight taste of spice, no pumpkin included. Smooth, drinkable cheap imitation of a pumpkin ale. Would not buy again due to the lack of pumpkin flavor. Definitely could find a better pumpkin ale that would be worthy of buying over this.
