Brewed by New Holland Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable

12 oz bottle from iowaherkeye. Poured a clear golden-light orange color. Head was two fingers high, off white, and very bubbly. Aroma was of subdued pumpkin cooked in butter with a dash of brown sugar and then spread on toasted bread. Delicately sweet with biscuity malt, subdued spices, and a hint of pumpkin. The spices linger a bit. Not bad at all.

bottle - Pours hazy orange with a very thin head. It has a light aroma of pumpkin, malt, and brown sugar. The flavor includes pumpkin and mild ginger and is fairly sweet. It’s too watery. There’s a touch of spice and mild hops in the finish.

The Dan Journal #39. O’Fest & Pumpkin tasting. Sampled 10/22/2006. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dull golden hue. Light nose that holds a touch of ginger. Light bodied with a little bit of syrupy effervescence. Yeasty but no spicy!

I usually get more spice and pumpkin in the aroma than in the taste of these types of beers and this is no exception. An amber color, minimal head. Aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin. Taste is fairly sweet, malty, mild spices and pumpkin. A slightly spicy aftertaste.

Picked up a single bottle from Main Street Market in Egg Harbor, WI. Pours a hazy orange-gold color with a white fast dissolving head. Lacing is medium to fair. Aroma has some citrus, medium malt and some spice. No pumpkin in the aroma. Taste is where the pumpkin kicks in with some nutmeg, clove and some bitterness. Finish is a bit watered down with a spice aftertaste. A little interesting brew.

Poured a very light gold with small particles floating in it and a medium to large white head. Spiced aroma with cinnamon and nutmeg. Some pumpkin. The flavor has a pumpkin , malt and spice taste. Pumpkin finish.

Bottle. Pours orange with a small frothy white head. The lacing isnt all that great, I would call it spotty, with a head that shrinks so a thin white film that is there to stay. There isnt much of a aroma, maybe a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. No hop aroma. The first taste is slightly sweet without much bitterness. Then there is a slight bitterness that comes through. Tasteing it it is very much a spice beer. The nutmeg and cinnamon that is in the nose comes through in the taste as well. Along with a hint of brown sugar. The body is light to medium with a watery mouthfeel that is a little disapointing. The carbonation is lively. When drinking this I am imagining myself drinking a pumpkin pie. The nutmeg and cinnamon even linger in the back of your tounge, just like mom or grandma’s pumpkin pie did long after you cleaned your plate. This is a very good fall beer. My only complaint with it is the mouthfeel is a little to thin and watery for me, I feel it should be a little creamyer and a fuller mouth-feel.

Clear orange body, thin off-white head. Aroma has slight orangey hops, slight malt, slight spice. That light fruity hop shows up in taste too, but it is sweetened with malty sugars, and a slight pumpkin spice. Pretty good, a little light.
