Bottle thanks to OldGrowth: Pours a transparent copper bronze with a thin, but frothy and spotty-lacing white head. Has a sugary sweet caramel pumpkin nose and some pleasant cinnamon spice. Body starts with a mild malty sweetness, some toasted grains, and an earthy spice presence before a slightly more bitter dry finish. A pretty decent pumpkin brew.

Pours hazy dark orangish copper with off-white head. The aroma is pumpkin puree and spices with some caramel malt. The flavor is malty, on the dry side for this style, with a good dose of pumpkin puree and spice flavors. The palate is medium and smooth, but not terribly complex.

Draft at WBF Durham. Rusty orange-amber. Short white head. Aroma is delicious! Roasted pumpkin, allspice, cinnamon, clove and brown sugar. Taste is more roasted pumpkin notes, pumpkin pie spices, brown sugar, caramel, and sweet malt. Body is medium with moderate carbonation. Ends with more pumpkin pie, moderate spices, caramel, and roasted pumpkin hints.

Draught. Clear orange color with off white head that laced the glass. Smells of pumpkin bread, cinnamon, and caramel. Tart up front like unripened fruit. The tartness mellows leaving a pleasant grainy aftertaste accented by pumpkin and cinnamon.

Nice looking Orange copper colored. In fact, it actually says "delightful" in my notes, and I don’t think I’ve used the word "delightful" in reference to beer in my life. Smells exactly like pumpkin pie. Big allspice and cinnamon flavors, plus - and this was interesting - I could taste pie crust, as well. Toned down and restrained, but very good. Sampled at 2004 Asheville Brewgrass Festival.

Deep gold pour with off white head and lace. Huge pumpkin pie spice aroma. Tastes alot like it smells and almost as good. Good medium bodied mouthfeel and nice carbonation.
