"I would rather sit on a pumpkin , and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion" - Henry David Thoreau. This is a quote on the front of the beer bottle. It doesn't have a very sharing tone, but if I have to share my good pumpkin beer with the crowd on the velvet pillow then I agree that the pumpkin is the way to go.
Pumpkin Pie spice is all I can think of when I smell this beer. A good spice smell with cloves and thoughts of Thanksgiving dinner. With its great orange color that leaves a slight hint of orange in the foam this beer screams pumpkin from sight and smell.
In taste the pumpkin becomes more muted and not overpowering. I can distinguish some pumpkin flavor in the beer but its not over powering, its a nice soft tip of the tongue taste. The spice flavor is very present but well balanced and complementing to the pumpkin. I'm not sure if any hops are using in the beer but I can taste some malt sweetness. This is a good all around beer that is fun treat. The taste might get annoying after too many but that won't be a problem since its a seasonal beer around for only a few months.
