Oct 1, 2007 Amber, bright. Light fluffy head. Mild spice on the nose, with lots of fleshy pumpkin and a hint of caramel. Slight astringency on the palate, with a good pumpkin character and light spice. It’s ok, but maybe a bit bland. I had just had a famous local pumpkin beer earlier in the day and this one didn’t measure up.

sweet pumpkin aroma with lots of cinamon and nutmeg and allspice,
rich pumpkin flavor is balanced by spices that eventually take over, long bitter finish from the spices,
the pumpkin is great but the spices just get to be too much by the end of the pint

Oct 14, 2002 Updated: Oct 8, 2003(10/8/02 - bottle) Clear amber body with small tan head. Aroma is pumpkin and nutmeg, light allspice. Taste is allspice, pumpkin, nutmeg, light cinnamon. Finish is lightly floral hoppy. Light-medium body.
(10/14/02 - draft) Smells just like a pumpkin pie, complete with nutmeg. Flavor is liquid of same, though the bitterness that sneaks up at the end strongly detracts from effect. (7/3/6/2/11)

Sep 11, 2005 Thin off-white head covers the clear orange hue. Roasted brown sugar is in the foreground, complemented by not particularly competent cinnamon and ginger, though the light hoppiness procures a comforting soily, leafy feel that works decently with the pumpkin seeds. Very simple in mouth, apparently confused ingredients work on their own rather than merging together, cigary and tea like finish. Light bodied, oily texture, dryish finish, well hidden alcohol. Dull example, not very tasty and even less refined.
