I’m very impressed with the Whole Hog lineup, I hope they keep it going with other beer. Poured a semi cloudy amber colour with a huge frothy top. Instant nutmeg, pumpkin and cinnamon notes right away. Taste was nice and spicey, creamy and delicioso! No Pumking for sure, but it was damn good anyway!

Nov 28, 2009 12 oz bottle from Princeton’s. Brownish/copper color, not much head. Spicy pumpkin aroma. Flavor is the same with nutmeg and cinnamon coming through prominently. Smooth sweet finish. Great example of a pumpkin beer.

Nov 12, 2009 The biggest problem you see in most pumpkin ales is that there’s too much pumpkin and not enough ale. That’s exactly the problem here. Sure there’s a trace of caramel malt but the flavor and aroma are both dominated by pumpkin spice and nutmeg with a hint of cinnamon. Top it off with clear brownish amber color and a very thin tan head and you’ve got a pretty mediocre brew. Sorry Point but you can do better. On that note I’d still like to recommend the two precious Whole Hog brews in this lineup.

Oct 29, 2009 Pours amber brown. Overwhelming pie spice aroma. Spice blend overpowers the pumpkin flavor a bit. Warmth on the way down.

Oct 9, 2009 Bottle. Stong pumpkin pie aroma. Taste was liquid pumpkin pie w/ a kick. Lots of cinamon, nutmeg, pumpkin, cloves, vanilla; some alcohol taste. This was the fullest bodied pumpkin beer I’ve ever had and definitely the best one I’ve had. Didn’t taste so artificial as others. Has a relatively high ABV. Good beer.

Sep 21, 2009 Nicely pumpkiny and spicy, finishes with a very straightforward light beery flavor. Sweet flavors, initially sweet taste, finishes drier. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves. Pleasant mouthfeel - thick. I don’t really know pumpkin ales, and they wouldn’t be my go to beer, but this one is very pleasant.

Sep 13, 2009 Pours a transparent orange amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some toasty nutty notes and good cinnamon and nutmeg spice with a healthy dose of pumpkin. Starts with good fullness and nice malty sweetness and spice balance to accompany the pumpkin flavor. Finishes drier and bittersweet with some lingering allspice. A pretty good pumpkin ale.
