Nov 2, 2007 Draft at Buckeye Beer Engine. Pour is deep, hazy orange with a wispy white head. Pumpkin and several spices in the nose, but weak. Watery pumpkin with spice. Has an underlying sweetness on the finish that does not fare well. Light body and watery.

Oct 31, 2007 Definitely something you have to be in the mood for. I got mine on draft at the Beer Engine without the brown sugar rim. Good thing too as it was incredibly sweet. I liked everything but the taste, which kinda put a damper on my experience. The pumpkin taste is overwhelming and I didn’t finish it, good thing someone else bought it.

Oct 28, 2005 At first, the taste was a little too much with all of the spices. After a few sips, the flavor mellowed out. The cinnamon, pumpkin and nutmeg were apparent. Nice cinnamon aroma. It was a medium amber in color. This beer would be good with Thanksgiving dinner.

Oct 30, 2004 Tap. Nice spicey aroma. Medium amber in color, very clear. Slight white head. Spicey pumpkin pie flavor. Spice aroma and flavor seem to dominate the pumpkin in the beer. Very nice pumpkin ale.

Oct 26, 2004 Orange body topped with a white, foamy head. Lots of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, and clove in the nose. Smooth body with peppy spice. Not overspiced, thankfully, but enough to be intresting. Kiss of cinnamon and brown sugar on the dry finish.

Oct 26, 2004 On tap @ Buckeye: Hazy amber w/ a lasting white head. Cinnamon & nutmeg spices present but not overwhelming, toasty malt, & moderate fruitiness. Pumkin is present, but very subtle. Well balanced and bready malt flavored, spicy nutmeg aftertaste; semi dry finish and moderate fruitiness. Low carbonation, lighter medium body and lightly astringent from spices. Not a big fan of pumkin beers because spices are usually overdone, not so with this one! Very well made base beer with a complimentary spice addition.

Oct 24, 2004 On tap: Aroma is spice an dpumpkin. Orange body with a small tan head. Real spicey flavor and slight pumpkin. Nice combination of malt and spices. Not a lot of bitterness. Only light bitterness and some moderate sourness in the finsih. As I drink the sourness gets stronger.
