Moderately hazy with no head retention, smells of coffee, spices, and pumpkin. The taste is sweet and creamy, with flavors of sweet vanilla cream, lightly tart cherry limeade, and faint spices around the edges on a creamy, smooth full body. The finish is short and clean, with mainly just faint notes of vanilla and sour cherry surviving the salival wave that cleanses the palate. Overall, it’s cool, but really just tastes like a cream soda with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Definitely a tasty beer I’d try again, but just doesn’t evoke the flavors of a pumpkin spice latte.
