Poured a finger and a half of yellowy off-white head. Body is a translucent light orange-copper. Head goes away in a little over a minute, leaving a ring and a little foam to decorate the top for me. A slow but steady stream of bubbles rise from bottom to top.

Pumpkin rolls. This beer smells straight like pumpkin rolls to me. I get the pumpkin, the cinnamon, some brown sugar and other pumpkin related spices, and even get the sweetness (probably from the brown sugar) indicating the filling. Smells great!

Taste is to smell, only breadier, like sweet iced pumpkin bread instead of pumpkin rolls. Emphasis on breadiness, pumpkin, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Medium bodied, it coats the tongue really well. A little dryness with the spice zing at the end. Carbonation is perfect as well, enough to keep the beer rolling over your tongue.

This is the best pumpkin ale I've had, although the list is admittedly short. I don't intend on drinking too many more of these this year, but I will sure as hell be picking some of it up again next year.
