Had this for the first time amongst a little pumpkin ale taste comparison at home. This beer is in a league of its own... The color is a clear golden orange, with a tiny head with no retention. The aroma is incredible - it's hard to believe how it truly smells like pumpkin cake, vanilla icing and all, gingerbread, graham cracker, cinnamon, etc. The taste is very similar to the aroma with a light hop finish and medium mouth feel. The alcohol is masked VERY well. How exactly do they make a beer that tastes this way? Does Willy Wonka work at Southern Tier? Truly incredible. I def. will be buying more this season. I could drink this for breakfast! In all seriousness though, this is a dessert in a glass. The only question is - is a beer supposed to even be like this? It doesn't really taste like a beer... I suppose that's what the other pumpkin ales are for.
