Comments Tastes too beerlike for me to enjoy. Where's the fucking pumkin-spice? FUCKING AWESOME I SMELL NOTHING. Spicy like B, but not as good. PUMPININNY! Cinnamoninniny. When did they start mass-producing and bottling Franklin's piss? :( PUMPKININNIEST! YOU'RE A SADISTICIAN Not as bad as G and I, but still sucks. TRICKERY!
Hints of PUMPININNY BAM! Good Fucking Job
