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.

My first pumpkin ale. Just a tinge of spice on the nose. A grainy mouth feel from the spices, and a bit full from the pumpkin.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Mckinney, TX. Pours a clear light amber with white head....Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, clover, cinnamon....Flavor much the same....Mouthfeel is light -med. body, high carbonation.....Over all, I do not care for this beer.....needs to be heavier and sweeter in my opinion to make this taste good.....It’s like pumpkin pie with no sugar.....Im not a fan.....

Pours a clear caramel-orange color with a small off-white head. Sweet malt, spice, and pumpkin aroma. Flavor follows the same lines, with the sweetness and pumpkin up front, and the spiciness coming through at the end. A little thin on flavor and on the palate, but not bad overall.

I quite enjoyed this brew. 12 oz bottle poured into a shaker. Poured a clear orange color with a small head. Aroma of fruit and nutmeg, with some other spice notes. Flavor was pumpkin up front, which gave way to the nutmeg and other spices. Almost like a liquid pumpkin pie.

Bottle. Very pretty caramel-honey pour with a thin, off-white head. Yeasty, fruity aromas. Yeasty and spicy flavor that is quite sour. I wanted a pumpkin pie and they gave me a lemon sorbet with nutmeg. Oh well. I’ll finish the glass.
