The 12 ounce bottle poured a slightly hazy perfectly amber beverage with an average sized frothy white head that was completely diminishing and left no lacing on the glass. The aromas were pleasant and appropriate for the holiday season with cinnamon, clove and a hint of pumpkin spice. The body was medium to light with fizzy carbonation and a watery texture. The flavor had an odd chemical taste to it ... a bit unpleasant in my opinion. It starts out slightly sweet and finishes slightly bitter. The finish is medium and has a bit of an astringent quality to it.

crwills brought this one and thanks. Cinammon and nutmeg is pronounced in a lager, orange with a white head. Astringent and fizzy carbonation.

This was my first pumpkin ale and I was mostly disappointed. It’s pretty much all spice and no pumpkin as far as the flavor goes. Aroma of spice, some banana, cloves. A lot of carbonation. I don’t know if I’ll be able to finish the 6’er.

Poured a clear amber, with a slight orange hue. Head was average. Nice pumpkin and spice aroma. The taste was not overpowering, which allowed for a nice compliment of punpkin flavoring without deviating from the norm to drastically. Good choice if you are going for pumpkin.

Bottle. Poured a copper color with a fizzy off-white head that dissipated quickly. The aroma was sweat with caramel and coca-cola like smells. Light hints of pumpkin also. The flavor was really subdued with spices and a light roastiness. Light body, watery, lively carbonation, and a hint of sour in the finish.
