Orange. Well spiced aroma. Watery. Spice doesn’t come through as much in the taste. Easy to drink. Fally but just not strong enough.

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

It says it’s the original pumpkin ale and I don’t doubt it. Clear, light orange colored iced tea. Aroma has pumpkin spices or something in there. Yeasty pumpkin olfactory character. Spicy overall smell. Decent carbonation. Taste lacks any bitter impact. There is however a veggie attribute. Finish is not bad except for that processed veggie linger.

12 oz. Amber with a disappointing head. Moderate to soft carbonation. Well-hidden pumpkin with clove and cinnamon being the major features. Not what you expect from something with a pumpkin on the lable, especially as a pumpkin pie eating american. Could go for a bit more body on this one.

Medium amber with small head. Lots of cloves and cinnamon in the aroma. First impression of the taste is that I accidentally took a drag off a clove cigarette instead of drinking my beer. Way too much clove and other spices. Bitter finish. No taste of actual pumpkin. It amazes me that this probably sells well as a national pumpkin ale. High carbonation.

Orange color with solid pumpkin and pie spices on the nose. A little watery but a decent pumpkin ale nonetheless.

Small, almost non-existant head. Sweet malty aroma with lots of clove and pumpkin. Pale yellow orange body. Watery body with lots of sweetness, some pumpkin flavor and some spice. Mild hoppy aftertaste. Heavy carbonation. Too thin to be good.

bottle. Aroma is very spicy with clove and pumpkin. Average sized fizzy head that fully diminished. Starkly pale amber hue. Flavor is weak but some clove and spicy pumpkin is there. Palate is lively and watery. This beer just plain sucks. I hope I never have to drink this again, buffalo bill you’re a dick.
