Oct 12, 2008 On tap at Old Chicago. Orange-gold with a thin white head. Both spice and pumpkin are understated in the aroma. A surprising amount of malt comes through. Taste is similar. It’s almost like a lightly spiced Octoberfest rather than a pumpkin beer. Still, rather enjoyable and more drinkable than a lot of the category that become overwhelming by the bottom of the glass.

Oct 10, 2008 pours a medium gold with a thin white head.
Aroma is cinnamon/nutmeg spice, a touch of pumpkin.
Flavour is again pie spice, light biscuity malt and a little metallic bitterness in the finish.
Meh, so-so.

Oct 6, 2008 12 oz bottle. Very pumpkin aroma along with pumpkin pie spices, nutmeg mace and cinnamon. Mostly clear orange golden with creamy off-white head. Lots of pumpkin in the flavor. Well balanced with caramel maltyness and nice slightly spicy finish. One of the better pumpkins I’ve had.

Oct 4, 2008 Draft at the Brickskeller, D.C. Fairy clear pour, orange verging on burnt sienna. Definitely on the cloudy side, almost like a bruin or something. Modest nose, with the pumpkin emerging fairly softly. Decent bodied amber as the base beer, very unspectacular. But the pumpkin and spice are fairly organic, and that’s pleasant to drink.

Oct 4, 2008 Cloudy golden/orange color with a thin but foamy and long lasting white head. Aroma of pumpkin and spice. Flavor has a very strong hop presence. Not what I was expecting. Kind of reminds me of an IPA, but with pumpkin. WTF!
