ABV - 8%
Color - Reddish orange with a light tan head
Color - Reddish orange with a light tan head
Aroma - All the spices are definitely present in the nose: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom along with a bit of brown sugar
Flavor - Light sweet caramel, hint of toasted bread, cinnamon and nutmeg dominate to make it spicy, perfect bitterness level at the finish - not too much, not too little
Verdict - This is a tasty pumpkin beer. I do however think the aroma is more pleasing than the flavor. This beer smells just like pumpkin pie. It doesn't taste just like pumpkin pie (which to be fair, I don't think any pumpkin beer does), but it is flavorful and delicious. Much lighter bodied than I expected and could sneak up on the beer drinker who is unaware of the ABV. I think this might just be my second-favorite pumpkin ale...
