Perfumy pumpkin and spice nose (cinnamon and nutmeg). Orange color and a spongy head. Detergent-like effect fron the blend of flavors. Some pumpkin, but an odd lavender too. Thin ale body. Dissappointing.

Drank out of bottle. Extremely strong flavor of spices, masks the beer underneath. Not much pumpkin flavor, just a whole lot of spices. Spice flavor is similar to chai. Basically tastes like a crappy beer base with chai spices and a hint of pumpkin. Ok to sip, but whole mouthfulls are too much.

Pour is a clear orange with a white head. Aroma is the best part of the brew. Lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavor is pretty weak and you hardly get any pumpkin. Very bland and not a good example of the style.

Pours light orange with minimal head. Nose is of nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves. Definitely has the punkin pie spice nose. Flavor follows suit with the nose. This would be a good holiday beer to go well with dessert. A real seasonal beer. ( I had this with a few other pumplin beers and it was one of the better examples)

Coppery-orange color with dark edges. Head is buttery-cream colored and nicely thick, long lasting. Aroma is great, pumpkin, cumin, clove spice. Very soft and inviting aroma, reminds me of mom’s thanksgiving pumpkin pie.Taste is a little watery, but on par for the style. Lots of pumpkin flavor, fall spices, wet leaves, caramel. Hops dry the palate out, along with spices in the finish. Nice beer. Has a creaminess to it.

Pretty dank brewski! Smells and tastes like fresh pumpkin pie. You can taste the cream and spices and everything. I really want some pumpkin pie right now. what I would give for some god damned pie! This beer would chase some nice warm pie perfectly. From the Hay-stack, which is another plus. Hell yeah!

A actual pumkin ale that smells and tastes just like pumpkin ale. Full of many spice tastes, which might be the only downside to this drink.

Pours orangish color with a thin offwhite head. Smells of yeast and pumpkins. Taste is malty with a strong pumpkin flavor to it. Aftertaste is best part with pumpkin flavor shining through.
