Serving Type: BottleABV: 6.5 percent
Appearance: This beer poured an orangish brown with slight gold and amber hues also touching the body. The body was also a tad foggy. There was a decent amount of carbonation bubbles drifting towards the top, but only slowly. Unfortunately, these bubbles didn't assist in providing any sort of head for the beer. All that was visible was a thin white ring of bubbly foam around the top portions of the beer. This lone ring was enough to provide for a little bit of web-like lacing that quickly hid back in the beer upon tilting the glass.
Smell: This was unusually spice heavy. Cinnamon and nutmeg were at the forefront in the aroma department. My sinuses twitched just a little.
Taste: I was worried about the spices dominating the taste. I was pleasantly surprised. There was something sweet that complimented the strength of the spices in the beer. There was a nice biscuity finish that poked through and paired well with the pumpkin flavor in this. If I can touch on the spices again, they were part of the beer's flavor all of the way across the tongue. I'd prefer a bit less spice content. One thing they provided for on the positive side, was an intriguing sizzle in the texture area. It was a good tingly feeling.
Overall Rating:
This is still a quality pumpkin ale that's on the local market here in Pennsylvania. A little spice heavy, but still really tasty. The biscuit flavor that snuck its way in there kind of sold me on this one.
