I am not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, this one was about average. I thought the beer tasted a little thin and the pumpkin flavor was a little strong for my taste (I prefer just a hint of pumpkin). Average brew.

Not a bad seasonal brew. Nice copper color from the bottle but where’s the head? Good aroma of barley and pumpkin. Pumpkin flavor apparent but not too bold which I though lead to good balance. My main issue is the body. Taste is a little thin. Worth a try though this time of year.

I’m a fan of the seasonal ales, especially the fall and winter editions. This is a good beer that is full of spices and pumpkins(duh) in both the aroma and the flavor. Pretty good beer to drink this time of year.

A prety good offering from Buffal Bill’s... I like the Orange better though. Nice reddish amber color. Strong spice flavor that overwhelms the pumpkin. 12 oz. bottle.

12 oz. bottle poured cloudy amber with fluffy off white head which quickly dissipates leaving no lacing. Appearance is slightly cloudy once settled with mild carbonation and medium to light body. Strong aroma of spice - clove and nutmeg overpower any other. Flavor begins with warm nutty front palate, spicy medium palate with a crisp finish. Overall, an easily drinkable beer, nice for fall fare. I probably couldn’t make it into a session beer, but could pair a few nice heartier cool weather recipes with it and would definitely revisit.

Orange beer. Taste of pumkins, cinnamon and spice. Sticky beer. One I really don’t care for much. Something you need to be in the mood for. Maybe it was the Chinese I had with it.

12 oz bottle. This one has been sitting in my fridge for weeks and figured since it is Halloween, what the hell, let’s try it. Pours orange, small head. Strong aroma of spices, mild pumpkin. All spice and nutmeg is very dominant in the flavor with a pumpkin aftertaste. A bit thin mouthfeel, but an enjoyable spice finish. Not the best pumpkin ale, but I think it deserves a higher rating than 39.
