Nebraska Brewing Wick for Brains Pumpkin Ale

From Nebraska Brewing Company in Papillion, here's one that I haven't seen (or tasted) before. As I poured it from the can to the glass it appeared to be the color of orange soda, but as it settled into the glass it took on more of the hue of a hazy copper with an orangey head that disappeared quickly. The pumpkin spiciness is somewhat subdued, but one can detect ginger, a hint of cinnamon, and an even subtler whiff of clove. If you're looking for a pumpkin spice ale that's not going to bunk you on the head like a thrown pumpkin on Halloween, Wick for Brains is your beer.
