Re-review. Poured into wine glass.

A - Nice looking coppery-brown / amber hue. One finger light khaki head that dissipated quickly in the wine glass. Some rising bubbles. Lacing sticks.

S - Lot going on in the nose. Some nutmeg, cinnamon, alcohol and a bit of pumpkin.

T - Nice syrupy / malty wave in the front. Spices are not overdone and underly throughout. I get some nice brown sugar and faint pumpkin notes in the finish. The "cleaner" type taste I got last time is not there with this bottle, thankfully.

MF - Medium-bodied with a syrupy front. A bit of dryness on the roof in the finish and some alcohol. Finish could be a bit better.

O - I re-reviewed this ale. This is my third bottle. First was good, Second was off, and third was in-line with the first. I was looking for a bit more pumpkin, but nevertheless, a nice fall ale.

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
