Aroma: “Lovely aroma of gingerbread cookies, spiced cider, and pumpkin-pie spices. This beer has a sour apple tartness as well, providing extra complexity. Sweet malt caramel notes come through over strong pumpkin aroma, fresh from the garden.”

Flavor: “The beer starts with a tart sour apple-cider flavor that then rolls into the pumpkin-pie spices and pumpkin character. Nice cinnamon and nutmeg, and good malt sweetness (almost caramel) carries through this beer to the finish. Spices and pumpkin flavor nicely melded. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel.”

Overall: “Many different aspects come through, from the tart slight-sweet sourness to the spiced character and malt sweetness. I actually taste pumpkin over the spices, apple, and malt flavors. Quite drinkable with enough spice to make it special for the fall/winter time of year. Very approachable.”
