Commercial Description:
We cut up 150 pounds of pie pumpkins, roasted them until they were brown at the edges and added them to our mash. Then we spiced it with traditional pumpkin pie spices instead of finishing hops. We call it pumpkin pie in a glass! OG: 1.070 Color: 18 IBU: 30

A good pumpkin beer from the tap in Maple Shade NJ. Pours a dark amber with the smell of nutmeg and other pumpkin pie spices. Nice flavor of the same. Smooth and dry.

Draft, at IH media. Pours orange brown, with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel, pumpkin meat, and mild spice. Flavor is a nice balance between spice and pumpkin, with the spice slightly more prominent. Long nutmeg and pumpkin finish. Decent pumpkin ale, but i was a bigger fan of the Imperial Pumpkin from the North Wales location.

On tap, @ Wilmington location. Pours a clear orangish amber body with a small wispy off-white head. The nose is all pumpkin pie spices with minimal pumpkin meat and some caramel malt. The flavor is much the same, sweet caramel malt up front with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg, minimal pumpkin flavor. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and little bit clingy. Pretty much the usual for a Pumpkin Ale, lots of spice, little bit of pumpkin.

Draft at Newark location. Poured a nice amber color with nice head. Aroma is overall weak with spice, pumpkin and mild alcohol. Taste is light spice, pumpkin, and some alcohol. Not as good as other pumpkin ales I tried.

On tap at the newark location. Orange in color. Weak aroma of pumpkin. Taste is perfume like pumpkin ale....Not that good. Lightly spiced just not as good as other pumkin ales. Off balances like other people said.

Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of light cinnamon and caramel malts. Taste followed suit, non-descript, lightly spiced, maybe some metal, bitter hops, and thin. Especially after that Vanilla Pumpkin, this one really fell short.
