alexanderj (2213), Chino Hills, California, USA Sep 26, 2009 Bottle; poured a copper-orange color with a big fluffy head. Aroma of spice, caramel and gingerbread. Flavor had a lot of tartness to it, which others have commented on. Spicy oxidized taste. Not too good. gunhaver (1024), Tampa, Florida, USA May 24, 2009 Bottle, courtesy IBrew2or3. Orange copper pour, slime white head, lacing is soft on the glass. Lots of spices, some tart nose. Flavor is spicy, pumpkin, big tart oxidation, some electricity and metal. Thin and bad. Like bin Laden. kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Apr 26, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Ibrew2or3. Pours a dark orange amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is malty and spicy with light notes of pumpkin, bread, some sweetness and grain. Flavor is strangely tart with notes of grass, yeast, spice, some funk. Generally medium body with a quick, uninteresting finish. Unusual beer. Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Apr 11, 2009 Pours hazy copper with gold edges and thin off white head. The aroma has notes of sweetness, grains, sugar, a bit of pumpkin, floral hops and a touch of cinnamon. The taste is similar, too bad, with a layer of odd tartness followed by some malts, mild hops, a bit of metal and very little pumpkin, if any. Zinister (1199), Houston, Texas, USA Mar 15, 2009 Tasted at GABF 2008. Dirty gold with white head. Nose of sugar, nutmeg, some pumpkin. Flavor is sweet pumpkin with a little ginger. DYCSoccer17 (2187), Davis, California, USA Feb 8, 2009 I don’t recall where I purchased this 22 ounce bottle. Aroma is appropriate. Spicy, brown sugar sweetness with some nutmeg and light pumpkin. Fairly sweet. Dark golden body with a small, off white head and scant lacing. Starts sweet and sugary, then becoming extremely carbonated with a little spiciness, perhaps ginger. There is a bit of lingering burnt flavor and an unpleasant sensation that this leaves on the back of the tongue. Snojerk321 (1917), San Diego, California, USA Jan 21, 2009 Bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Consumed over the Holidays. Pours a hazy gold with an orange hue. Nose was very herbal with pumpkin spice and nutmeg. A decent Pumpkin brew. BMan1113VR (2757), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Jan 12, 2009 Bottle thanks to hopscotch. Pours with a small, foamy white head and a hazed orange body. Okay lacing. Aroma is husky with notes of cheap malt, vegetables, tobacco, pumpkin, sharp nutmeg and B.O. Taste is B.O. with nuts, vegetables, sharp spices, astringent nutmeg. Very grainy and husky. Bone dry mouthfeel and a bit fizzy. Not a fan.
