After the Hi-Res, the first sip of this was puckering, but that was just recovering from the sweetness. This is fragrant and hoppy but with a pleasant cereal transition and bit of spicy (Amarillo?) bite to end.
Tacky label aside, this is an extremely well-balanced pumpkin beer with nice hints of maple and spice. Not too sweet, but sweet enough, and oh-so-frighteningly easy to drink!
