Each pumpkin beer I have had brings something different to the table which in my previous reviews I have stated these little facts and details. This is sort of like a combination between the smashed pumpkin with its sweet potato/yam, cooked sweet pumpkin and cinnamon with cream as well as the Pumkin from southern Tier with it’s candy and caramel corn sweetness. Additionally, it bring this small Belgian property that seems like a candied sugar and a bit of dark fruit, plums, raisins and anise spice in the aftertaste. It is minute but it adds to the flavors of the beer. Additionally, like other awesome beers of this category, it includes the pumpkin pie crust and filling, nutmeg, ginger and allspice. While it is still pretty good pumpkin beer, I think depending on what mood I am in, will I get this over the Smashed pumpkin beer. Was once 1st best pumpkin beer in the world to the ratings but to me It was pretty awesome but I guess depending on the day would I take this over Smashed Pumpkin. You see, this beer, while it is a very exceptional pumpkin ale with a range of flavors, if I just am in a mood for a strict basic pumpkin beer with flavors just like my mom used to make when she made calabaza con leche, then I would go for the other one. So in retrospect, it all depends on the mood. If you are looking for one exceptional, top of the line Pumpkin beer with a complex range of awesome flavors, go for this one 😛
