| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 30, 2007 12 oz bottle- poured transparent light burnt orange, aroma of light malt, off white head. Hits the mouth with cinnamon, nutmeg, thin body, barely any pumpkin noticeable. Not bad, but something I would not purchase on a regular basis. alobar (1020), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 24, 2007 Pours a cloudy amber/brown color with almost no head. Minimal aroma-malts mostly. Malty taste is strong. No real hints of pumpkin or any spices. Very average beer. jujubeast6000 (784), Houston, Texas, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 23, 2007 (bottle): Pours an amber clear brown color, lighter yellow around the edges. Dull gray head, small bubbles, quickly diminishing. Very malty, rice maybe? Odd. Not appealing. Clear, pumpkin & spices, that same odd flavor. Okay but weakish. efrumtheidiot (190), Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 23, 2007 pours a slightly darker amber with a white head. aroma of pumpkin spice, some clove, and some citrus. weak, thin, bland pumpkin flavor. pretty bubbly. smells a lot better than it tastes. eh. try the southern tier pumking, it’s much better. mike5203 (33), Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 22, 2007 12oz bottle. Great color and aroma. It is smooth with a thin pumpkin spice flavor. Hinez57 (129), Clinton, Mississippi, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 9/20 | Oct 22, 2007 This beer looks great in the glass, a dirty amber color, not too dark with a lightly toasted head. The aroma of squash or pumpkin. But the bad news is that as it warms the grainey malt and corn and/or rice really starts to come through. A touch of hops does seem to be present. The flavor isn’t bad, the grainey/grassey notes of the malts come through along with a pumpkin/squash taste. The water thin palate adds too my suspicion of adjuncts. Overall I rated this beer a bit higher than I thought I would considering it comes from one of the "big" breweries. It certainly captures the taste of pumpkin, is an intresting novelty. lovemyipas (420), sw burbs, Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 22, 2007 pours orange copper with a nice 11/2 finger fluffy off white head. aroma is crystal malt, hops, and a little spice like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg with a little pumpkin. has a light body with good lacing and carbonation. flavor is the same as aroma. has a bite from the carbonation and a touch of dry aftertaste. also has a little cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg and clove that sits on the tongue for a little bit. its ok.
