Bottle. Clear amber collor with a very small off white head. Cinnamon, pumpkin and nutmeg aroma. Cinnamon, pumpkin and sweet dough flavors. Finishes with a nutmeg bitterness with a slight trace of alohol. Syrupy texture and lively carbonation. A good one to sip during the cool Fall months.

I am not usually a fan of pumpkin, but this beer really found a nice balance between pumpkin, spice, and malt flavors.

Interesting beer - pours a very clear amber/orange, no cloudiness at all. Flavor is a mild one of pumpkin and brown sugar. Flavor has a nice initial tinge of the aroma and then seems to fiz out rather quickly. Tasty for what it is, but nothing I see myself being a regular drinker of.

This beer was not all I expected it to be. The flavor of spices and pumpkin are definetely there, but they taper off quickly and the flavor that is left is rather bland. The beer is dark amber with a light white head. The foundation of the beer seems to be lacking while the added flavors are good. This makes for a beer that is easily forgettable and slightly disappointing for such a great brewery. The foundation would benefit from a more complex base and some sort of connection between the initial flavor and aroma and what you taste after its gone.

Shocked how not good this beer was. Opened it on Thanksgiving. Taste of pumpkin pie spices on a bland ale with a squash and hop aftertaste.

Draught at the Freakin’ Frog. I expected this to be better honestly. Nice spice in the aroma and flavour but the seemed a little thin beyond that. On par with other pumpkin beers but short of something like ST Pumking.

On tap at O’Briens Pub in San Diego. Color is light copper with lively carbonation and a medium white head. Aroma is light, with your typical holiday spice notes of nutmeg, pumpkin and butterscotch. Pumpkin flavor makes a decent statement up front, then fades quickly with some light nuances of potpourri. Body is thin and a sweet note lingers on the palate. Overall, not too complex and the character fades too fast. Easy to drink.
