Sampled last week at the brewhouse. Well made and full of pumpkin flavor. Pretty strong flavor, crisp and refreshing. Little to no head, but drinks well.

Nov 29, 2009 Sampled 11/26/2009. This pumpkin ale pours a medium orange pumpkin color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is malt, some pumpkin, iced tea and sweet. A medium bodied pumpkin beer. The malts are caramel, ice tea and some pumpkin. Hops are earthy and floral. Interesting, but the crystal malts stand out more than anything else. I realize they were trying to emphasize the pumpkin flavors, but pick a different malt than crystal then. Kind of bland and tepid tasting. Lively carbonation. Unlike most other pumpkin beers I’ve had lately the flavors do not open as it warms. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Jan 2, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. The body was a light hazy bronze orange. The aroma was light bread crust with some cinnamon. There was also potpourri goodness. The taste was light pumpkin rind and cinnamon. Bland and uninspired.

Jan 2, 2009 This was perhaps my favorite beer that I had during my trip to the brewpub with golubj. Aroma was heavy on vanilla and vegetables with not much spicing at all. Flavor was the same and was pretty tasty. However, where is the spicing? It just did not seem to be a pumpkin styled beer, although it does fit into the overall category.

Jan 2, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Deep brownish orange pour. Aroma is vanilla and some vegetable spicing. Flavor is quite sweet, some bubblegum malt, same vanilla and lightly vegetal mouthfeel overall.

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle. 2008 (3rd year? of brewing this). Amber beer with an off-white haed. Malty, light vegetal aroma with a hint of pumpkin pie spice. Malty, light vegetal flavor with some psice showing through and a bit of hops that shows it’s a pale ale, but clashes a bit with the pumpkin/spice. Medium-light bodied. Malt, spice, and some pumpkin lingers.
