A: Orange, copper, pumpkin colored. Pours very small white head that dissipates almost instantly and leaves no lacing.

S: Pumpkin pie, with the crust. Graham cracker, cinnamon, spice.

T: Tastes like pumpkin pie water. I get some spicy pie crust in the finish, which is nice. Kind of lackluster in flavor, if you ask me. It is really smooth and the alcohol is extremely well hidden.

M: This beer has almost no carbonation, and a very very light and watery mouthfeel. A little surprising considering the mouthfeel. It was much too thin for my taste.

Overall I believe this beer is a little too hyped up. It is kind of a novelty, but it has too many flaws in my eyes to consider buying it again.

Please understand when I say I loved the 2012 version of this "classic". It tasted so true to pumpkin pie my wife, who is not a beer drinker, and I couldn't get enough. The 2013 version, of which my wife had me buy a case, tastes to me like burnt brown sugar. I can't get past it. There is a half case in my cellar.

This is by far my favorite beer that I have tasted. The Pumking is the perfect drink during the fall with great pumpkin, cinnamon, and vanilla flavors. Great to have with dinner or just having a casual drink. I can't wait until this is on tap again!
