From the brewer

This pumpkin ale is brewed with fresh Washington pumpkin from Imperial Garden Farm in Wapato, and spiced with cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, cardamom, and vanilla. A blast of pumpkin pie aroma introduces you to this full-bodied and fairly malty beer. It finishes with a very subtle ginger warmth.

Who's been drinking this

The must have changed up the recipe. This was pretty bad, like drinking pumpkin spice Pledge. Perfumey and way too much cinnamon. I couldn't even finish the taster.
Balanced pie spice and a creamy/mellow mouthfeel that is believably pumpkin. It's really quite nice, except for a moderate but wall-like bitterness that appears at the finish. Maybe I was just sensitive to it today, but that's how it goes.
Spiced holiday cookie aroma. Tastes more like a gingerbread cookie than pumpkin. Cinnamon finishing notes with pleasing bitterness.
