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.

Huge cinnamon pumpkin flesh nose. Slightly hazy orange color, minimal head. Massive clove sweetness, not much bitterness. Good carbonation, medium mouth feel, finishes a little thin. All around not bad, but the clove characteristics overwhelms the rest of the beer, so it is hard to detect nuances that might be in there somewhere.

Tastes and smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin. Aroma is wonderful, reminds me of Christmas. Wish there was more hea though.

Bottle pour. Orange/Amber color, quickly dissipating thick, white head. Aroma of pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon. Flavor is non-existent, mostly cloves. A hint of pumpkin flavor at the finish. The Aroma is the best thing about this ale, but the flavor does not deliver.

Bottle from three sons. Amber with very faint odor, nice malts and buttery notes. Had one of the more spiced flavors and some lingering bitterness

bottle pours golden/copper with a thick white head. Aroma of light spices, cinnamon, aroma reminded more of a mix between orange/pumpkin. Taste, malty, sweet. Maybe too sweet for a pumpkin ale. Very weak taste of pumpkin. As with the Buffalo Bill’s Orange Blossom, you get this mix hops/yeast that gives you the impression of drinking a soapy soda. I am still wondering where the pumpkin and the spices went? Just too weak, missing a good kick.
