Pours a clearish yellow brown with quickly dissipating small head. Smells kind of spicy. Taste is kind of bland, with an aftertaste dominated by spice. Mouthfeel is medium, but similar to a high gravity lager with sweet thickness. 3/5, maybe I'd drink another but I won't buy again

I purchased a six pack of the beer as the air has started to turn crisp and the palate has begun to crave pumpkin.
Appearance: The beer poured to a light amber color that left about a finger's worth of foamy head that dissipated rather quickly. Slight lacing on the glass.
Aroma: Mild pumpkin scent with hints of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Palate: Light to medium bodied ale that does not overwhelm the palate. It did not leave a "heavy" feel while leaving lively carbonation on my tongue.
Taste: I've had many pumpkin ales that have had a heavy "pumpkin pie" flavor to them. This is not one of them. I taste the pumpkin, but also the hints of pumpkin spice.
Overall: A refreshing beer, really, where other pumpkin ales have tasted like a dessert in a bottle or glass. This is a beer where I could drink several at one setting as I didn't find it overly filling. I found it enjoyable, but at the same time there is a lot of competition for pumpkin ales. I gave this a three star rating but might nudge it to the positive end of average. It's the kind of beer I could have in my cooler while sitting out by the fire on a cool fall night.

The pumpkin is definitely there. More so than other Oktoberfest/pumpkin beers that I have tried. Seasonal That they have at world market.

Strong pumpkin with a juice essence. Good, but not my favorite pumpkin ale.

Drink a bit warmer for flavor to come out and then no more than two as youburn out on the flavor
