Bottle. Short, frothy, white head that quickly disappears. The body is a hazy amber. Sweet and malty aroma of cookie, pumpkin, nutmeg, cinmmaon. No hops apparent in the nose. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and lightly bitter. The finish is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Tastes of sweet pumpkin pie, lightly spiced.

Dec 20, 2009 12oz screw top at home: thanks to UncleJimbo for bringing this over. Pours hazy amber with orange edges. Two finger off-white head fades to a film. Sweet pale malt aroma with dark spice and something lightly seaweedy. Definite cinnamon and nutmeg. Spice mowed nice with the deep caramel. Seaweed does blow off. Touches of toasted sugars start to show after a minute or two. Flavor starts off with decent malt and a touch of spice. This melts into a more sugary caramel where the cinnamon really starts to come through. The spices are very noticeable bit they are not over the top like in so many other examples. Caramel goes back to malt in the finish with a bit of a co2 bite and dark brown spice. There is an ever so slight touch of cardboard in the end.

Nov 17, 2009 Good medium to dark amber color. Decent one and a half finger head. Fairly good retention. Darn good lacing.
Not really as much smell as I would expect from the average pumpkin ale.
Minimal pumpkin notes, along with light pie spice notes. Small malt presence.
Good pumpkin flavor with the spices buried underneath. Much more of a pumpkin ale, than most others, which tend to rely on the spices for flavor.
Creamy, yet still light enough for macro-heads to probably enjoy.
I find this one to be quite drinkable. Most likely by mass audiences, with the right marketing.

Oct 22, 2009 This one poured a lighter orange color with a white head. Aroma was slightly sweetened grain, cinnamon and bready. Flavor was very thin, fairly bland ale taste with a fairly strong one dimensional cinnamon flavor.

Oct 20, 2009 Grapefruit-gold colored with a thin white head. Nose is quite grainy, some corn and light bitterness comes with very light cinnamon cookies, hints of pumpkin spice growing with warmth. Flavor is strongly cinnamon but nicely controlled, also hints of sugar and cookie. Decent finish,but way thin and watery. While there is little going on here, it is still rather enjoyable.
