Bottle: This has the aroma you would expect from a high abv pumpkin spice beer, but smells a little metallic and sugary. The pour was hazy copper with a thin head. Flavor is somewhat bland actually.Hints of cherry come along with the spice, but really comes off with an unsatisfying flavor overall.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle courtesy of BMan1113VR. Clear light gold pour. Fantastic spicy smell. The right mix of fruit and flowers. A small bit of spice is also around. Taste is lightly fruit and grain infused. Pumpkin is sensed but not tasted.

Dec 5, 2009 Finally a beer that can rival pumpking, this one comes damn close, I still think I like Pumking more but this comes damn close. Pours orange with a bright white ring. Nose has a pumpkin kick. Taste is sweet, rich and quite big. Lots of seasonally spiced pumpkin!

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle via a trade with Brigadier. Pours with a clear golden body and a fading white head. Aroma of cinnamon, florals, sweetness and a ton of pie. Taste is pie, cinnamon sugar, nutmeg, and pretty awesome overall. Medium carbonation. One of the better pumpkin beers out there.

Bottle: The aroma is very spicy with lots of ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. It pours a transparent golden-orange with a minimal large bubbled head. The flavor starts with caramel and light pumpkin sweetness. The finish has light ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The spice in the flavor is nowhere near as strong as the aroma. Light-medium bodied with light carbonation.

Nov 26, 2009 Bottle from West Lakeview. I thought this was un-good. Nose of pumpkin and nutmeg, but quickly turns into cinnamon, sugar and Christmas spice - way overboard on the Christmas spice. Like drinking potpourri. Pass.

Nov 24, 2009 Deep orange w/ thin off-white head. Aroma of nutmeg, allspice, with a touch of cinnamon. Medium bodied, starts slightly tangy and finishes moderately sweet. A good, spicy pumpkin beer, could be thicker and more ’meaty’ but a good beer.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle thanks to Brigadier: Pours a transparent deep orange with a thin, short-lived white head. Has a nicely spice cinnamon and pumpkin nose with some rich, sweet caramel toffee undertones. Starts with good fullness and sweet toasty caramel malty sweetness with a good balance of ginger and nutmeg with a touch of pumpkin flavor, but nowhere near as much as Southern Tier’s Pumking. Still a pretty flavorful and complex brew.
