12oz Bottle Thin mouthfeel almost watery. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin are present but not dramatic. I probably would have enjoyed it more if the flavors were a bit more pronounced. Definetly goes down well on a cool fall night though.

The cinnamon and nutmeg spices are the most noticeable feature of this pumpkin ale. It taste very much like pumpkin pie in a bottle. The body is light/medium and almost watery but It flows very smoothly down your pipes leaving you in a seasonally festive mode. More of a dessert beer though.

12oz Bottle - Gravity Room - Olympia, WA
Aroma – Mild amber aromas with some slight pumpkin and subtle spices.
Appearance – Amber in color, clear and with a nice head.
Flavor – This was a better pumpkin beer but still was lacking that pumpkin deep flavor. The spices where nice but to contrite and just there not really added with passion.
Palate – This was a mild beer with some nice flavors but nothing to speak of .
Overall –I will hold my soap box for later. This was a nice beer but still missed the pumpkin flavor and deep spices. They all need to try some great pumpkin beers to get that true flavors and feel.

Pours golden ale color with a small head. Pumpkin aroma with a hint of clove. Malty sweet taste with a clean dry finish. Very good on tap (if you can find it) not as good as some other pumpkin ales, but tasty.

This beer had a Kennebunkport Pumpkin Head label on the bottle.Clear amber with no head. Weak aroma of pumpkin pie spices. Thin, watery mouthfeel with a mild, one dimensional pie spice flavor. I’ve had better pumpkin ales. 10/23/07

Yellowish amber color wiyh a thin head. Aroma of pumpkin, spices. If you like pumpkin pie, this beer is for you. It tastes just like it.

Overall a great ale. SInce I am a shipyard fan and love pumpkin pie, this is just another one of those brews you can’t wait for until fall time!

Bottle. Can’t get past the tastes and smells of cooked pumpkin and nutmeg, like liquid pumpkin pie. Looks and feels okay though, to me this is more of a novelty than a true beer.
