Was excited for this, but sadly, not what I was expecting. Doesn't really taste like pumpkin spice. I can taste the maple, but then it tastes like star anise. Was hoping for more cinnamon and nutmeg.

First pumpkin beer of the year…again I’m early to drink these, but close enough! Nose is lots of nutmeg with a hefty boozy barrel. Flavor is more balanced than expected. Pumpkin spices with sweet maple and bourbon. Smooth and flavorful.

Good overall review… because it’s a BA Founders concoction? Hope you *love* allspice and cloves, because you’ll get a shit ton of that soaked in some boozy booziness. I generally like autumn spice forward beers, but this too much.

Wow. Big boozy sweetness with lots of barrel and maple syrup with notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Straight booze breath when you exhale. Cheers

Awful. It's 13.1% ABV, bitter, and tastes like a bottle of maple syrup. There was no note of pumpkin. I could only stomach one sip.

Maple flavour hits a bit too hard. Almost sickly sweet.

This one is…sweet. Syrupy sweet. And boozy. Lots of flavors: cinnamon, vanilla, bourbon. At 13.1%, it was a bit much for me. But, it is an excellent take on the style.

First pumpkin beer I’ve had and wow I must say I’m impressed! Smells of vanilla pumpkin bourbon oak and spices, taste follows suit the maple is kinda hidden I guess it’s there for sweetness? Great job Founders

(Yesterday) Really yummy. Would be my perfect pumpkin brew if not for the lingering sugary sweetness. But great cinnamon bourbon flavor.

Deeee-lightful! Wonderful blend of maple a pumpkin spices. Lovely bourbon character with vanilla notes. Seems like a new fall classic to me. A little boozy but it hides the ABV fairly well. It’s like grown-up pumpkin spice candy.

This may be the worst pumpkin beer ever. I think taking a random beer off the shelf and adding pumpkin puree would be better.

Maple and pumpkin. Will this work? It does in this one!! The sweetness of the maple plays off the earthiness of the pumpkin. I really like this one.

It’s way too sweet but the alcohol is hidden. Someone mentioned it tastes like a Manhattan and I can see that, almost like double fisting a Manhattan and an Oberon
