I go alot w/ what DrBayern says on this one. I had several at last years renfest (& the year before). This one may be the mold for a pumpkin ale. Really good. Nice pumpkin flavor & full body , unlike saranacs attempt at this style. Nice frothy head amber in color easy to drink esy to forget how many u had

12 oz. bottle. Light, fading beige head over a orange amber body. Big aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon supported by the unmistakable pumpkin in the background. Medium body, but without a malty richness which would add to the character. Still, it’s smooth without any stickiness. Certainly favors sweet malt flavors with just the faintest bitterness. This isn’t something I would drink frequently, but in the right circumstance would stand up well.

Definitely not among my favorite pumpkin beers. Lacked a bold flavor and a good finish. Decent, but I will probably not buy this again.

Pours a slightly opaque orange. Strong aroma of pumpkin pie spices and pulp - very nice and inviting! Tastes like a pale lager or ale - very sweet, with the strong spices and light hops balancing it well. Pulpy pumpkin taste, wonderful spicy aftertaste. Creamy body, decent carb. Very nice beer - my first pumpkin ale! Many thanks to Thaichile for the trade!!!

Had this from a bottle in a little Italian place about an hour west of Charlotte, NC. Pours a creamy orange, with a likewise creamy head. Aroma is cinnamon. Taste is pumpkin puree, cinnamon and clove. Sweet, easy drinking, very good beer. One of my more favorite Pumpkins.

Bottle. Cloudy brown-amber body. Carrot cake and extra-tangy, possibly spoiled cream cheese in the aroma. The flavor has strong orange juice, nutmeg, anise, finishing with a sweet vanilla-soaked white bread. Pretty heavy on the "holiday spicing" theme.
