I have worked at a bakery since I was in middle school. Keeping that in mind I will now start my review of my second favorite pumpkin beer so far.
Opening the growler at home it felt like a pumpkin pie was baking in the oven. The smell was overwhelming pleasant. In the past I have worked with Pumpkin Spices and there is a general rule most bakers know; a tea spoon and table spoon will give you the same affect.
The bartender. at Bier Brewery, had great advice "if you want to try our pumpkin beer try it last or every beer will taste like pumpkin pie." I love when bartenders at breweries give you advice, they should be the most knowledgeable of their crafts. Out of all the pumpkin beers I have tried so far this beer ranks among the highest. The only issue I have is the strong after taste that comes for what I can only expect is an over use of the spices.
Don't get me wrong this is a fantastic beer but this has to be the last beer you drink or the after taste will over power every thing you eat or drink the rest of the night. Even a slight decease in the amount of spices used could counter that affect without affecting the delicious taste and helping the bottom dollar.
Repeatability 4.5/5
Taste 3/5 The aftertaste stays just a little too long.
Appearance 5/5
Aroma 5/5
Overall 4/5
