Bottle from Trader Joes; Nose of pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg; gold with a medium white head and quite a few bubbles; flavor shows a tiny bit of caramel malt masked by the pumpkin and spices.

ale with pumpkin flavor added? moe like corona with pumkin flavor added. Thin watery beer with a hint of pumpkin added. a decent non-ofensive beer on sale at Trader Joes.

Not that good. Thin and watery. Slight sweetness. Pumpkin? Light orange color. Not much spice. No head. No dancing on the palate. Big time lame-o.

picked this up at trader joes. poured gold with minimal head and lacing. aroma was pumpkin with taste that followed suit. light, not as bold as i was hoping for.

Pours a copper/golden golor with a small white head. Smells of pumpkin pie and the accompanying spices. Taste is slightly hoppy with some hints of spice, but not enough to distinguish it from the peppery hops and basic malt profile. Mouthfeel is tingly and watery.

12 oz bottle pours a light orangish yellow. The aroma is what you’d expect pumpkin, allspice, nutmeg, a little lighter aroma than it should be, but by nose alone, not too bad. In the mouth this becomes thin and watery. A brief pumpkin flavor covers your tongue as it slides down, and with that the flavor is gone.

"Ale with pumpkin flavor added" -- yep, that’s pretty much it. Fairly non-distinct, but not bad. The pumpkin flavor is like pumpkin pie, and not overpowered by nutmeg or mulling spices. Easy drinking, and worth grabbing next time your at Trader Joes’s.

Pours light orange with a good amount of carbonation and a quickly leaving head. Aroma has cinnamon and clove with a decent amount of pumpkin. Medium body with typical carbonation. Taste starts light pumpkin and some of the spices. the finish ahs more pumpkin and veggie taste. Okay for a pumpkin beer and one of the better beers under the Sea Dog name.
