There is not much of an aroma to this beer, slight hints of spice and pumpkin, same goes for the taste. Nothing much to brag about, but when it comes to pumpkin ales i have had much worse.

Dec 20, 2009 Bottle. Big clove and allspice nose, light cinnamon, lighter vanilla. Ruby-amber pour with a sudsy, brief Coke head. Very dry taste, earthy with heavy allspice, nutmeggy flavors dominate. Full body, crisp and a little abrasive. Not much to say here, fits the profile of a pumpkin beer, but more than a little dirty / unclean.

Dec 16, 2009 Light amber color. Aroma and flavor here are very light. Very mellow pumpkin and faint spice. Thin body and very light in flavor. Mostly spice and not much actual pumpkin here. Faint cloves and kitchen sink spices. Meh.

Dec 6, 2009 A clear light brown colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma of fruits, a bit fleshy. There is some ginger with butter. The taste is some sweet with fruits like a kind of citrus or pumpkin. A little spices. The aftertaste is some sweet dry and some hints of bitter.

Dec 4, 2009 Amber, brown colored brew. Aroma of pumpkin? A bit spicy. Flavor is thin, watery, artificial pumpkin and candylike sweetness. Bad.

Dec 2, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear deep amber with a small, off-white head. Sweet aroma of caramel and cinnamon. Medium body, a little cinnamon and a vague ashy whiff. Lightly sweet fruit and an edge of cardboard. The finish is dry with a discreet bitterness. Heavily carbonated. 221009

Dec 1, 2009 12 oz bottle (Thanks to Pam once again). You know, I was really expecting to hate this beer before I tried it, but even though I had such low expectations, it really turned out to be not too bad and definitely not offensive. There’s nothing too crazy here, but every aspect of the beer was decently pleasant. To me, the aroma is definitely the strongest part as the spicy nutmeg and ginger spices combine well with the light pumpkin fruit, cookie malts, and the hay-like hops to enhance the flavors. Pour was nothing special with a light layer of standard white head, some retention, medium-light appearing body, and golden dark orange in color. The body was light overall, not watery, and maybe too sided toward the sharp carbonated side of things. The flavor profile overall was quite similar to the aroma except that the notes muddle together a lot more. So overall, not great, not bad, but definitely somewhere in between.
