Best Quote During Tasting

I feel like I got déjà vu that I've complimented you on that hoodie before.

Justin:

Aroma - Spicy cinnamon aroma with lighter notes of other traditional pumpkin spices, predominantly clove.  Some graham cracker maltiness comes through as well.
Score: 10/12
Appearance - Clear with a light head that was never sizable but sticks around.
Score: 2/3
Flavor - The cinnamon also comes through first, but everything is extremely well-balanced. Everything together really does remind you of a pumpkin pie.
Score: 17/20
Mouthfeel - Medium-medium high body with medium carbonation.  I really like the thicker mouthfeel on this.  It works well for the beer.
Score: 5/5
Overall Impression - This beer makes lists for the top pumpkin beers in the country each year and it's easy to see why. While the general consensus in the STL area is that this specific beer from Schlafly tastes a little different each year, overall it continues to remain a national and local favorite.
Score: 9/10
