Cloudy, light orange color. Smell of pumkin, cinamon spice, minor hops, ginger and a touch of citrus? Taste of tea, cinamon pumpkin and tobacco. Bitterness dissapears way too fast.

Clear sparkling amber, fizzy light tan head. Nose was filled with notes of warm pumpkin pie and cinnamon. Spicy flavors of cinnamon, pumpkin, vanilla, and hints of earth are found within. Light bodied and thin, medium carbonation, dry pumpkinny finish. Kind of artificial tasting and not one of the better renditions I’ve had...

Orange color with fizzy head. Noticable aroma of spices, reminds me of fall. Initial strong taste of nutmeg and some pumpkin. This was my first pumpkin beer and I found the taste quite unique. Can’t imagine drinking more than 1 or 2 at a time, but overall pretty good.

2006 batch. Poured orangish. Great aroma, strong on the nutmeg and pumpkin, smelled as soon as I opened the bottle. Small fizzy white head that quickly dissipated. Flavor of pumpkin with nutmeg, and cinnamon in the middle. Def. a Veggie taste, not over spiced for me at all. I think the flavors mesh well. Thin bodied, light. Carbonation good. Very drinkable, I can see having a few of these.

Orang/amber with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma of pumpkin and spices, primarily nutmeg. Flavors are more of the same. Light bodied. Interesting, but not my favorite style.

Overall, this beer smelled of pumpkin, but really tasted watery. I was expecting more of a pumpkin taste.

Bottle. Poured orange color with a medium fizzy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate nutmeg pumpkin aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium sweet short finish.

Smell and taste of pumkin pie without the sweetness, thank goodness. Too much spice and clove form me. A style I appear not to like but this may be good example.
