3.43/5  rDev +1.2%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

Poured into tulip-pint

A - reddish amber; virtually no head; no lacing; very little carbonation

S - caramel; toffee; boozy-ish from the malt I think; spicy

T - sweet bread; moderate pumpkin but heavy on the nutmeg; again, spicy; hints of molasses; some candy corn maybe; cinnamon in there as well

M - it's a little bitey; the molasses hits the back of the tongue adn stays; the spices hit there too; pretty easy to drink given all the spice activity here

O - this was purchased across the street from the brewery; that said, the bomber was $5...pretty solid for that price; I'm a big pumpkin fan in general, so this review is slightly weighted...however, this is towards the bottom third of pumpkin beers I've tried; nothing blew me away here...but a good value beer for sure.

A - Large ta. foamy-bubbly head rises north. Brew is very dark amber color, great clarity. Light viscosity.

S - Lots of nutmeg. Slight cinnamon. little pumpkin. too light.

T - Very light and drinkable. Nothing is too overwhelming. Light pumpkin flavor complimented by drinkable spice.

M - Slight over carbonation. No heat. no bitterness.

O - Definitely a good light fall ale. This one tastes like colorful leaves... Yum. Recommended.

Confirm 5.8% abv as stated by Russ.

Pours a light brown with a thin tan head. Nose has bready malts, cinamon, nutmeg, vanilla, ginger, caramel and pumpkin. Taste is quite light and lacks the pumpkin and spices found in the aroma. Some pumpkin does however come out in the finish. Body a bit thin. Drinks well.

Thought it was weird that they'd have this in mid-January, maybe because it's not moving too fast? I believe this was 5.8% abv, but not 100% sure

Poured amber/brown with 1" of white head. A little bit of lacing & no real head retention

S: Big-time cinamon & nutmeg

T: Ditto taste-wise; loads of nutmeg & cinamon. A little bit of breayness & dryness follows. Finshes sweet, a little dry & spicy

MF: Medium bodied & average carbonation

Drank average, not a huge fan of pumpkin ales & this one features most of the faults I dislike; too much spice, no real hint of pumpkin & not enough body
