What the brewers say
“Blends the spices of the harvest with full-bodied sweetness for a beer that tastes like pumpkin pie with the fall flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Pumpkin-pie spices (cinnamon, ginger, allspice, clove) up front and clearly on display. Very nice caramel malt character, with notes of brown sugar and toffee. Low-to-medium pumpkin aroma, too.”
Flavor: “Simple malt sweetness with a round spice character of cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. Clean, lightly sweet finish with a lingering hint of citrus. Balances well and finishes smooth and slightly spiced with some warmth. Great pumpkin flavor.”
Overall: “A tasty, well-crafted pumpkin beer that is hard to find fault with. Spices are well done, pumpkin flavors come through nicely, and balance is well executed. A classic example of the style that comes together very nicely. I enjoyed the finish of slight spice character with the warmth.”
