Sep 29, 2005 How delightful. Very nice spicy smell, like a bakery in october. Orange color, good flavor. Lots of spicy undertones and the pumpkin comes in late, when you least expect it. Kind of watery, but overall very tasty.

Sep 24, 2005 Pour is almost a bright orange with a white head. Aroma is of cinnamon and spice. Flavor is deffiantly pumpkin with a nutmeg after taste. Swallow finishes watery and thin. My first pumpkin beer and its so-so. Ok to have one but more than one is a a bit much. Could use more spice.

Sep 21, 2005 12 oz bottle pours amber witha short tan head that laces a little. Aroma of caramel malts, pumpkin, some corriander and yeast. Flavor is a nice blend of yeast, pumpkin, caramel, spice, and some earthy undertones. Palate is medium bodied and almost a buttery mouthfeel. This is a pretty good seasonal. Definitely worth a try.

Sep 8, 2005 From a bottle into a straight sided glass. Kinda pale looking, but a nice head. Aroma is wonderful, beer(yeasty) and pumkin and spice, a little biased towards the spice. The yeastiness and the body remind me a little of a Tripel, but lighter. The flavour is very well balanced, better than other pumpkin beer’s I’ve tried. If it were a little deeper in it’s malts and body, this would be world glass, but as it is, it’s still a very nice beer.

Sep 5, 2005 Poured from what I suspect is a 2005 bottle since I bought it in Sept. from a store that didn’t have it the previous month. This beer pours to a fizzy/foamy white head atop a clear dull golden body. Good lacing. The aroma is very strong. Yeast, nutmeg, pumpkin, ginger, wet/undercooked pumpkin bread, clove. The flavor of this pumpkin ale is much stronger than the O’Fallon I just tried. Tons of pumpkin, spices, yeast, wet/undercooked pumpkin bread, honey. This beer is good but a touch cloying with the spices 1/2 way through. This a pretty decent beer as far as pumpkin beers go.

Aug 15, 2005 Orange-y brown-ish color, predominately nutmeg flavor with pumpkin notes. My favorite pumpkin so far, but haven’t tried very many yet.

Jun 19, 2005 Clear orange-tan, thin creamy head. Nose spicy but not overpoweringly so, lots of ginger, bit of yeastiness, some vague breadiness. Somewhat sweet and fruity, fair amount of spiciness, the usual ginger/nutmeg/allspice. Bit cloying at the end, but at least the pumpkin isn’t overpowering here. As pumpkins go, it’s pretty good.
