Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a fast disappearing orangey head. The aroma has notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, and caramel malts, leading to a dry bitter finish.

pour seems almost creamy for a moment -- very well (if not over) carb’d with a lightly clouded lager-ish hue. aroma is of non distinct spice, possibly the clove can be pulled out. odd malt sweetness as well. flavor is strangely sharp considering the style and the nose, similar to gingersnaps. all in all, this borders on offensive.

Pours a hazy golden orange with white head and what seems like way too much co2. Pumpkin and spices. Light bodied and not overpowering. I’m not a fan of the pumpkin brews, but this one is drinkable.

Pours orange with a thin head. Thin mouthfeel, wonderful nose of all the spices you associate with fall and pumpkin pies. Whereas most pumpkin ales are sweet the emphasis here is definitely on the spices. Strong flavor of cloves in particular. Very enjoyable!

Not really a pumpkin ale, but more of a cinnamon and ginger ale. The aromas of the latters are very apparent and actually mix quite well.

The pumpkin aroma is unmistakable, the flavor falls just short of how good this smells.

Bottle. Pours amber with a thin off white head. Pumpkin pie spice aroma, with cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavor seems a bit off, with apple juice, cinnamon and other spices. Decent.
