12 oz bottle. Pours a dark gold, with a decent off-white head. Lots of tiny little bits of stuff floating about. No lacing. Aroma is fairly nasty...like a bad aftershave. You can discern some spice, but whatever it is, it isn’t pleasing. Flavor is fairly flat, with some pumpkin (fresh pumpkin not pumpkin pie), maybe a bit of cinnamon, and some pepper. Palate is light-medium body, with a bit of spritz. Finishes slightly bitter and dry. Not particularly refreshing. Overall this was an interesting beer, but a disappointment for me.

Light amber in color wit ha thin white head. Pumpkin pie spices and wax candle aroma. Flavor is malty pumpkin with a very subtle spiciness. Medium bodied. Not bad at all. Enjoyable.

Tasting at Keg and Barrel 12 Oct 08, kinda urine color with no head. smells of nutmeg and pumpkin spices. Mouthfell is thin and watery. It ends up with more of just a lager taste that pumpkin.

Light golden color with a thin white head. Strong pumpkin spice aroma. Spiced, malty taste and pumpkin flavor with a bit of hops and a slightly bitter finish. Claims to be the worlds only pumpkin lager (all the others are ales.) Not bad.

12 oz bottle, bottled wk1 of August. Pours hazy golden copper with a fizzy white head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar that leaves a little lacing.

The aroma is spices - cinnamon, nutmeg and other pumpkin pie spices.

The flavor is a bit off. Spices are present, but there is a sweet vegetal malt and some earthy bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, I really liked the smell of the beer - the flavor, not so much.
