strong pumpkin, clove, and cinnamon aroma, small head. where many pumpkin beers focus on the spices and nutmeg side of flavor, this one starts with the pumpkin....yet works.....really well. it’s fresh and balanced really nicely with the spices. the additional flavors are not in abundance and pairs nicely with the moderately malted base. session pumpkin?

Beautiful orange color with a thin white head. Amazing pumpkin aroma with a dash of clove and nutmeg. Great citrusy pumpkin flavor with just a hint of spice. Very rich and smooth. Excellent. One of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had.

Aroma is yeasty and dominated strongly by nutmeg Cloudy orange color, no head. A little phenolic which works with the flavor of pumpkin on the palate. The healthy amount of nutmeg is very nice. Very tastefully done and unique.

Bottle. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon and vanilla. Pours copper. Flavor is mildly spicy. Like a watered down pumpkin pie. I think that if this beer had a bigger body, it would be quite nice. As it is, a only so so.

Orange/amber color with a diminishing head white head. Aroma of spice-cloves and pumpkin pie. Flavor is holiday spice and pumpkin with a little malt and no hops that I noticed. It is mainly sweet with a little bitterness - straddles the edge of being too sweet, but doesn’t cross the line. Its a little one-dimensional with the spicy pumpkin flavor. It needs some more complexity and the other ingredients need to make more of an appearance.
