What Our Panel Thought
Aroma: “Good pie-spice aroma with all of the obvious pie spices evident. Clove is prominent with notes of cinnamon and allspice and a touch of ginger supporting. Toffee and caramel malt notes with some toasted, caramelized pumpkin.”
Flavor: “Very toasty malt up front, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, clove) right behind and holding their own without one being overly dominant. Very nice caramel malt sweetness with notes of toffee and brown sugar leads into a bitter, dry finish.”
Overall: “A good example of the style—it’s spiced and malty with a bitter finish that keeps it from cloying. Very balanced malt/spice. Spices are well executed to support the base beer. Very tasty, full-bodied pumpkin beer that is easy to drink.”
What the Brewers Say
“A deep copper hue and creamy beige head. Aromas of caramelized malt and baking bread with highlights of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, and seasonal spices. Creamy mouthfeel and silky body. Smooth, round finish.”
