hazy light orange, sweet pumpkin pie aroma with lots of cinamon, light body, dry malt flavor with lots of spiced character, the spices add a balancing bitterness,

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Draught at Brickskeller, Washington DC Blond color, big head. It has a delicate aroma of cinnamon cookies. Smooth mouthfeel, with a quite evident cookie and cinnamon flavor. I don’t understand where the pumpkin is, and I just reject the concept of Halloween beers. argo0 (6982), Washington DC, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 29, 2006 12oz bottle. Poured a medium amber color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of pumpkins and spices (I’m getting cinnamon, nutmeg and some others in there). I liked the way pumpkin was done in the aroma. Tastes of very light pumpkin and very light spices. The tastes were a major let down compared to the aroma. Thin and watery body. jcwattsrugger (5573), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 30, 2005 Bottle... Crystal clear, light amber ale. No lasting head. Spicy, breadsy, floral aroma with a hint of candied ginger. Good balance... lightly sweet, but fairly well-bittered. Pumpkin and spice is evident, but subtle, not cloying. Medium-bodied and watery... a little too thin. Fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Not at all shabby, but not a style I’m really into. I’ve only run into a few pumpkin ales I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Hey, it’s beer... that’s a big plus! Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 3, 2005 Thanks to JTW for this sample. Pours copper with a thin white head. Aromas of spices immediately pop out with some underlying pumpkin. Taste is nice and hoppy with some citrus notes and a touch of spice, but lacking in pumpkin flavor. Good for an IPA maybe, but not for a pumpkin ale.
