Draught. Fluffy off-white head, anmber colored. Nice pumpkin spice aroma. Wow, spicy! I can taste a lot of ginger, and there is a slight bitter finish with a decent bit of maltiness. Actually near the top as pumpkins go.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange amber brown with virtually no head. Aroma of spiced pumpkin; allspice, cinnamon, cloves. Flavor of...spiced pumpkin, as above. Finishes with...spiced pumpkin. Both is not too bad at all, decent thickness (2% milk). This is probably the pumpkinest pumpkin ale I’ve ever had. If you like pumpkin pie, you are set.

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.

Pours a slightly hazy dark amber with faint traces ow wispy khaki head. Nose is a good delicate blend of nutmeg, allspice, coriander, and other pumpkin pie spices. The flavor follows suit very closely and adds hints of lavender and brown sugar. Medium body with a clean, not cloying finish. Very enjoyable pumpkin beer. And kick ass label to boot!

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.

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.

Courtesy of walleye. Oct ’06. Transparent copper, decent head. Nice clove and pumpkin balance throughout the aroma and flavor. More spice in the flavor, maybe nutmeg? Spice dries out the finish. Tasty for a pumpkin brew.
