The only thing missing was some coolwhip!  Go buy it NOW (the beer… and some CoolWhip)!

Oh OK I won’t rip you out of more details. Not like you paid for the beer. *sheesh*

If they can find a way to make the head creamier that would be killer. The aroma is slight cinnamon and nutmeg put quickly gets lost as you take your first drink. Incredibly smooth, cool and all the characteristics of pumpkin pie without the texture. There was a medium body that covers your palate in pumpkin goodness. Finish was a tad sticky but just drink more.

Spoon’s rating: A- (there would be an “A” if they work on the head a touch)
