Oct 21, 2008 the aroma is best--warm pumpkin pie like at thanksgiving; gold body, yellow highlight, minimal activity, minimal lacing, small white head; the palate is somewhat spiky and chunky, but simply thin when it is warmed; the flavor does not do justice to the aroma at all, but the aftertaste is pleasant; mediocre.

Oct 20, 2008 Draft at a beerfest. One of the better pumpkin ales. Not much in strength, but good in flavor--nice balance of pumpkin, cinammon, nutmeg, and spice.

Oct 20, 2008 bottle - Pours clear dark yellow with a one finger white head. It has a very spicy aroma with cinnamon, nutmeg, and I’m not sure what else. It made me think of eggnog. It was a sweet malt flavor with lots of spice, some caramel, and minimal hops. There’s a light body and it’s a little watery.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle. Pours a pale yellow orange color with a thin white fizzy head. Nose is pumpkiny and leads one to believe the beer might have some decent qualities. Nope. Palate is watery with a slight fizz. Flavors are dirty water, very lacking in any flavors at all really. basically water that smells pumpkiny.

Oct 18, 2008 Yikes. This is not so pumpkiny, and not so good. Weird flavors. Spicy, but overall as lager-y as anything else with just weird pumpkin spices on top of it. Better as I got used to it, I guess, but what does that say about the beer? Probably best to stay away from this one.

Oct 18, 2008 12 oz. bottle to glass: Tawny light yellow and bubbly on the pour with a quickly fading dismal soda pop head.
Aroma of Old Spice Cologne, root beer and mineral. Tastes like the eggy and all-spice components of pumpkin custard (but no pumpkin) in a spritzer. It’s akin to how lime flavored carbonated water tastes like lime ’essence’ but not like real lime juice or a margarita. There’s no body. Fine for a funky-festive soft drink, but not a beer.

Oct 17, 2008 Pours a copper color with a very minimal white head. Aroma is malt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Flavor is cinnamon and other pumpkin pie spices tied into a light slightly malty beer. Not much pumpkin taste in here at all just the spices. Not bad, but pumking and DFH punk are way better examples of this type of beer.

Oct 15, 2008 12 ounce bottle from Glenville beverage. Nice head and a little lacing. Very spicy, almost too much. It’s drinkable, but it wasn’t my favorite.
