Copper pour clearn light white head malty aroma light malt flavor taste of pumpkin cinnamon clove and nutmeg clean finish good and mellow brew drinkable but not even close to the best pumpkin ale

"Pours a bright amber color with a tan head. Spicy flavor but to me was a little too bitter. Nutmeg flavor with more spices, aroma is about the same. After taste wasn’t great, and not very smooth. "

12oz bottle into a pint glass. It’s got the typical flavors and profiles, but it’s a fair amount lighter than other pumpkin seasonals.

One of the Blue Moon series from Coors, this poured an orange color with an off-white head and light lacing. Nose ia pumpkin and nothing else. Light mouthfeel. Flavor is not near as strong as the nose and while still pumpkin is very bland. Dry finish There are a lot of better pumpkin flavored ales around, but this is drinkable.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Some spice aroma. Golden coloured and fruity pumpkin flavour with a crisp and slightly dry malt finish.

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark orange with average off-white head. Aroma of pumpkin and spice. Flavor of spice, pumpkin, bread, wheat. Not bad, and certainly delivers on its name, but by the end of one, I get my fill for the season.

To start, I received a foamy, off-white head of maybe 1-2/3 fingers thickness above a dark orange body. Aroma...well, yes, there surely is pumpkin there. The taste was again with the pumpkin; quite different and certainly interesting, plus there was some kind of spice business going on as well. Mouthfeel was quite alright, thanks, and the finish was clean and not overly sweet. A nice beer, but I don’t think I could drink much of this stuff in one session. One can have TOO much pumpkin, you know. Reminds me of the hoary old one of "What do hillbillies do at Thanksgiving? They pump-kin!" Please forgive me that one.

12 oz. bottle from beer stash refrig. Somehow pushed to the back since late fall so not expecting much. Poured a deep orange/amber into my festival sampler glass, with a tight bubble foam and good curtains of lacing. The aroma was malty, with some fruit sweetness and a little pie spice. Searched for an indication of pumpkin, but got a toned down version of the aroma with an initial dryness and light hop bitterness. Somewhat fizzy carbonation and a light body were also noted. Fall and early winter reviews indicated more flavor so maybe worth another try next fall. Besides the flavor fall-off, the appearance was rather good and still stored reasonably well.
