One of the better pumpkin ales out there. Has the right blend of spices and real pumpkin flavor. Medium bodied and easily quaffable, this brew pours crystal clear chestnut brown and sports a small white, quickly receding, head. As usual for the style cinnamon and nutmeg pervade the aroma, but there a decent ale under the hood, and that’s what makes this brew better than other pumpkin ales. Tried this one in a pumpkin beer tasting at City Beverage in Winston-Salem NC, and it took top honors over the Dogfish’s Punk’n, Post Road by Brooklyn, and several others.

Bottle courtesy of ROBORB in trade. Thanks man! Pours a nice hazy dark amber to maroon color with a short lived offwhite head. Smell is tangy lemon and pumpkin meat with some nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. Taste is bright, crisp and lightly malty with lots of lemon flavor and a nice amount of spice which isn’t overwhelming. Lightly acidic and refreshing. Crisp, prickly carbonation and medium bodied. Pretty nice.

this is a very simple but strong and flavorful pumpkin... not much complexity here - i like the imperial variety of the style much better

Pours a hazy light brown with a quickly dissipating white head. Nice spiced pumpkin aroma. Nice spice character. One of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had.

Sampled at the 2008 Knoxville Brewers’ Jam. Hazy light brown in the glass with a frothy off-white head. Aromas of pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon. The flavor follows the same with some caramel malts also standing out. Medium body.
