Sep 27, 2008 Pours a murky orangish gold in color. Only a little froth on the pour, other than that, no head at all. Smell is slight pumpkin, but lots of spice and a whole lot of lager notes. Taste is smoked pumpkin. There are some definite smoky notes that I don’t quite understand. Lots of carbonation and prickliness in the mouthfeel. Being a pumpkin beer, there are still a bunch of other pumpkin beers I’d take over this.

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle. Pale amber color, minimal carbonation, almost no head. Flavor is mildly sweet malt, hints of pumpkin and the usual pumpkin pie spices. A bit grainy on the palate. Pretty standard pumpkin ale here.

Sep 25, 2008 [2007 bottle...oops] Pours a murky rust color with very thin sudsy off-white head. Bubblegum and Toothpaste aroma, fruity with some pumpkin and nutmeg. A very light beer with some chalky pumpkin, bubblegum, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, and very weak malt. Gritty mouthful, light bodied.

Sep 22, 2008 Bought in a bottle and poured into a pint glass. Pours a light amber color with little to no head. Not very much of a smell. Taste is smooth and full of spices. Strong aftertaste of cloves, which unfortunately overwhelm the pumpkin flavor. Tastes very similar to pumpkin pie.

Sep 21, 2008 Pours a nice clear amber color with a medium sized head that disappears quickly. Smell is kinda interesting. At first, I could smell some hops and some pumpkin, and the two flavors clashed horribly. But as the beer warms, the hops smell is being replaced by a far more pleasant spice smell. Cinnamon and cloves. There is no flavor. Seriously. No flavor here at all. Thin and fizzy on the palate. Boring.

Sep 20, 2008 Pours a orangeish brown with a small off white head. Aroma of malt, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin. Flavor is cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, a touch of pumpkin, malt. Decent attempt at a pumpkin beer, but too many spices (clove) and not enough pumpkin detract from this one for me. Still better than a lot of others in the pumpkin beer realm though.

Sep 19, 2008 Not too shabby, but not quite what I expected. Poured from a bottle, quite thin...hazy orange color. Spicy notes, and a crisp, pumpkin flavor finish.
