Bought a 4 pack at Marty's in Newton . Just to let you know , they have a kick-ass glass section now . To go with their kick-ass beer section . This brew was poured into a pint glass with the Red Sox on the tube and Joe Jackson on the hi-fi .

When opened there was very little pumpkin aroma than what there was from the other 2 pumpkin brews I had over the weekend . Spice & gingerbread comes to mind . The smell was just average . The appearance was average too . Clear with a small head that did not last long with very little lacing . For flavor , the brew was as weak as the aroma . It was a bit watery and a tad bitter . I am a fan of DFH brews and I enjoyed their other offerings but this may be the last time for this . Not when I had 2 brews of this type . ( which were head and shoulders better than this ) .

Cheers .. C'Mon the Hoops !!

From my Untappd history. Poured at The Yard House in Yonkers.

A: Kind of a muted brown hue mixed with amber. Off-white head. You would think the beer would be opaque, but this one was rather clear.

S: You're immediately hit with the spice blend - I think cinnamon and allspice. Don't think there's any nutmeg in there. The pumpkin fruit they use is crazy good though because it comes through without being too sweet or overpowered by the spices.

T: This always reminds me of the fall and I also use it to benchmark other pumpkin beers. The alcohol comes through even though it's 7%, but it's a pleasant flavor. The malts work with the organic pumpkins extremely well.

M: Great feeling on the palette and even better finish. I crave cider doughnuts and a campfire immediately after swallowing.

O: This is my quintessential pumpkin/fall beer. It's the perfect mix of fruit and spices.

Serving type: on-tap
