sfontain (496), Columbus, Ohio, USA Mar 25, 2008 Amber pour with a significant, white, fizzy head that dissipates into a relatively large ring; lots of lacing down the glass. Aroma of orange, bread, pumpkin and spices (allspice and maybe cloves and nutmeg). Flavor is quite bready and spicy; surprisingly bitter. Full, frothy, non-sticky body. Really, so much better than the Saranac pumpkin beer I just had; almost a pumkin IPA; I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but this is easily one of the better ones.

Light amber color, small white head. Herbal pumpkin aroma. Herbal cinnamon flavor. Cinnamon dominates aftertaste too, not much pumpkin in the flavor. thewolf (3392), Kolding, Denmark Jul 13, 2008 Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
Pours golden yellow with a small, film head. Aroma is sweet, light coriander, some pepper and good deal of pumpkin. Light and thin mouthfeel. Flavour is perfume, pepper, pumpkin and lots of spices. Okay actually. ogivlado (2173), Zagreb, Croatia Jul 10, 2008 Bottled(355ml). -RBESG2008, Grand Tasting.
Transparent golden coloured, small airy white head. Very perfumey pumpkin aroma with herbal and spicy notes. A way too sweet. Like ekstedt said, not my cup of tee. oh6gdx (5195), Vaasa, Finland Jul 9, 2008 Bottled. Aroma colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is pumpkin pie along with some spicyness. Flavour is mainly pumpkin and grass along with some slight spicy/herbal notes. carruthm (307), USA Jul 8, 2008 clear orange, small head. pumpkin spice and ginger nose, but underwhelming taste.
