Tap: Pours a hazy straw color. Aroma is of nutmeg and wheat. The flavor is actually pretty good the spices are well balanced with the wheat flavor. Overall a very good pumkin beer.

Pretty good pumpkin ale. Drinkable slight pumpkin, wheat, and spice flavor. Finishes clean and a little watery.

Great aroma, smells like clove. Cloudy body, has a tinge of pumpkin but really that much. Light body, slightly watery with a fruity taste. Good for dessert.

Hazy golden withlittle head. Pumpkin-nutmeg and clove aromas complement nicely. Flavor is light wheat with pumpkin accent. Light clove too. Very drinkable.

Might be my favorite I ever tried at Richbrau... and I’m not into the fruity stuff too much either. Delightful pumpkin aroma. Neat orangish hue. Tastes festively pumpkinlike and a little sweet, yet light. Not bad at all. Can’t wait ’til they brew it again, because the standard brews over there pretty much blow.
