Feb 5, 2007 Cask. Very hazy dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Some grapefruit hop aroma mixed with malt and mild pumpkin in the aroma. the flavor had a light maltiness with citrus grapefruit flavors that went to the finish. Light bitterness and semi-dry finish.

Nov 15, 2006 cask. looked a lot like apple cider. the smell was a little frightening but this beer had a nice hoppy flavor that was unexpected but enjoyable. i didn’t taste the pumpkin at all which i’m not unhappy about. this was the best beer of the bend batch this evening.

Nov 12, 2006 Cask.
Dark amber body with an off-white head.
A bit of spice in the aroma with a solid malt backing and support from the hops.
The hops could come forward a bit in this brew, but overall the flavors are well balanced. The pumpkin seeds add a complexity, but it’s not what one would expect from the name.
Interesting brew.

Nov 8, 2006 An orange brown pour with a slightly off white head. A spicy roasted malt aroma. A flavor of the spice. A good balance between the malt and hops. It seemed pretty hoppy for the style which wasn’t a bad thing. It had a really decent hops bitter on the finish. I liked this beer.

Nov 5, 2006 An amber appearance. A slight pumpkin aroma with some perfume, lemons, and oranges. The flavor is quite bitter with some lemons and oranges showing in the flavor. Good to keep warm while drinking this outside last night.

Aug 31, 2006 Pours hazy copper. Well balanced malt flavor and nice hops. Spicy for the most part with a really easy to enjoy bitterness level. Pine is secondary. Light sweetness throughout. No noticeable “pumpkin” here, and I could not tell you exactly what flavor the pumpkin seeds add. Semi-dry body with a lingering aftertaste. Very appropriate and a good pale ale. It is very enjoyable. In my opinion this was the stand out at the Southern Brewers Fest 2006 Chattanooga.
