12 ounce bottle from Total Wine. Pours a tiny head over an orange body with amber hues. The nose is spicy, bready, and nutty. Flavors include cinnamon, pumpkin loaf, hearth, veggies, grains, pepper, subtle various spices and hops, almonds, and nutmeg. Medium/high carbonation and medium body. I love interesting beers and have tried quite a few pumpkin ales; I believe this to be one of the better ones to choose from. Severly underrated.

Poured from 12 oz bottle a medium dark amber, little to no foamy head. Aroma of what you would expect. Flavour cloves, cinnamon, pumpkin and malts. A typical pumpkin ale.

12 oz bottle into pint glass. Weak pale ale light golden color (with just a hint of a copper hue) with fat carbonation bubbles on the side and bottom of the glass. The only redeeming quality of the appearance is the great fluffy long lasting white head. Aroma is actually pretty descent - some pale malt with a nice pumpkin quality (not overwhelming or syrupy - subtlety spicy and nice). Flavor is WACK and off like crazy. Tastes like an old old old pale lager (or maybe malt liquor) with a very light pumpkin and spice hint (just enough to make this totally out of balance). Lots of corn character. The more I drink, I am getting a hint of hops, which confuses the whole flavor even more. Also, the more I drink, the more drinkable it gets, but it still sin;t good. Light with medium carbonation on the palate. Overall: If you like pumpkin, the aroma will tease you enough to surly disappoint you with the flavor. Splurge and get a bomber of Southern Tier pumKing (if you can find it... if not trade for it).

Color is amber, orange with the smell of Pumpkin spice, just as advertized. You can defiantly taste the pumpkin spice, and maybe a bit of ginger. Not an overpowering flavor, I didn’t mind it.

Pours clear amber with off white head. Smells like pumpkin pie. Flavors of pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg). Medium body with fizzy carbonation.

Decent. Certainly a novelty beer, but worth trying. For flavor, there is a lot going on, it’s full of flavor. Great aroma for Fall time, could be too strong in the heat of Summer. Highly carbonated with absolutely no head. Overall, too spicey to drink more than one or so, but a great conversation beer.
