Review: Color is light to medium brown with an orange hue. The nose is very strong allspice plus nutmeg and reminds you of pumpkin pie smells, nose is great. First half is allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon blend and the taste is maintained on the tongue in a very nice way. No bite or heat just pumpkin spice flavors. The base beer is amber like and really complements the pumpkin taste. Second half the smoothness of the beer comes through. As you acclimate to the pumpkin spices the beer starts having an almost Oktoberfest mild lemon finish which makes this beer have refreshing finish. Like Backpockets pumpkin beer, the base beer complements the spices quite well, allowing the pumpkin spice flavor to assert itself without overpowering the refreshing base beer. This is a World Class Pumpkin Ale.
Rating: 5 mugs
