This pumpkin came to the table in the standard shaker pint glass, a nice looking clear amber orange, small but sturdy white head.

This ale was all about the pumpkin pie, plenty of rich spices (clove and nutmeg) mixing well with the standard pumpkin backbone. Easy to drink, no alcohol distractions.

The pumpkin recipe may change from year to year, but this version was a hit with me.

Poured from the tap a clear coper color with a light white head and minimal lacing.

Definitely smells like a pumpkin ale. Heavy on the spice with nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice.

The taste was like the aroma. Heavily spiced but without much depth. A bit thin in my opinion.

Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied with a light carbonation.

This one could have used a bit more body and more pumpkin. Not bad, but could be better.

Bright copper color with a thin white head. Lots of pumpkin spice in the aroma with cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. There is some light caramel. Flavor has all the pumpkin spice not much pumpkin. I believe this was their first try at this beer, and they need a little more practice. More pumpkin could have turned this into a better beer. There was some light caramel. Thin mouth feel, good refreshing, not great.
