Pours a transparent orange bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and fresh pumpkin with a touch of cinnamon spice. Body starts fairly full with good sweetness and pumpkin flavor throughout well balanced with mild spice. An enjoyable pumpkin ale.

12 oz bottle from alldaydrinker; nose of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg; lightly hazy orange with a small, yellow-tinged head; flavor is very spicy pumpkin, with the nutmeg, then cinnamon showing up, not too sweet, with a slightly bitter finish. Pretty good pumpkin ale!

Courtesy RomanW70. Pours a hazy amber with a thick white head. Big malty pumpkin aroma with hints of cinnamon and spices. Taste is malty and pumpkin with spices, a little like a pumpkin pie. Finishes a little thick, but tasty overall.

Pours cloudy light copper. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon. Immediate taszte is cinnimon, followed by sweet malts, with a slightly bitter finish of hops and cinnimon. Fun beer, and hass some nice components, but the cinnimon dominates a bit much.

Pours a cloudy amber with no head at all. the nose is extreamly intence and full of nutmeg, and allspice. It really reminds me of fall. The flavor is really robust and full of spice. The initial sip bombards your mouth with pumpkin and vegtable spice. The more you drink it that bitter allspice flavor never goes away, it coats your mouth like a toffee. The finish is full bodied and does not lack complexity.

Pours a beautiful, clear peach colour with a fizzy, yet dense white head that leaves no lacing. The nose is deliciously spicy and fragrant, with the impression of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and clove! Some earthy, sour malts are also detected. The robustness of the scents are impressive, as some similar beers offer much a much weaker aroma. The flavour is balanced, fragrant and pleasant, being very easy to drink. The nutmeg and ginger are most abundant in the taste and the malt sweetness is sticky and slick. Nice medium body and gentle carbonation add to the drinkability. The finish is slightly dry, sugary sweet and warming, with a bitter aftertaste. I am very impressed with this limited offering.
