as written on the bottle its a brown ale made with hints of brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg some other stuff i cannot remember and finally a little hint of pumpkin (which i don't really pick up on)
Pumpkin itself has little to no flavor; you're just mashing it for the starches. Everyone's perception of a pumpkin beer is actually more like a pumpkin pie beer, so that's what most pumpkin beers taste like. I brew a "pumpkin" beer that has zero pumpkin content (I'm an extract brewer) but everyone is just absolutely positive that they can taste the pumpkin in. It's also quite good, kind of like a pumpkin pie crossed with a nut brown ale.
