Decent pumpkin ale. It grew on me as I worked my way through a pint at Ri Ra in Burlington. Poured a light orange with a fine white head. Nose of cinnamon and slight pumpkin. Taste does not echo the pumpkin until the finish. Light-bodied and pretty crisp.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a light golden color with a small white head. The aroma was dry, tangy and had a light nutmeg and cinnamon presence. The flavor was tangy, sour and had noted cinnamon and nutmeg. There was an off bitterness underneath. The finish was short and spicy. Uninspired.

Pours a pale orange with a thin sudsy white head. Aroma is primarily spice, most notably nutmeg and cinnamon. Feels rather watery, with the spices being most evident and some malty notes. Upon trying this again, I find the actual pumpkin flavor is light and I almost feel like the spice and malt make me imagine it more than anything else.

golden colour, thin head. Aroma is pumpkin spice and light malt. Flavour is light spice and pumpkin. Body is a little light. Maybe it’s just that recently I’m used to having my pumpkin beers over 8% rather than below 5%.

Bottle. Pours a pale gold, a bit hazy, with a white head. Aroma has pumpkin notes as well as some cinnamon and nutmeg. Pumpkin is the main flavor with undertone of nutmeg quite clear. Also some malty notes.

Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard, IL. Poured to plastic a hazy, orangy gold with modest off white foam and lacing. The aroma was light on the pumpkin with the pie spices a little more noticeable, as clove and nutmeg. The flavor was a little stronger mixture of spices with some sweetness, but the body was rather thin. Okay, but average.

12 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a cloudy gold with a medium white head. Aroma of pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg), sugar, grains, grass. Flavor of pumpkin pie spices, sugar, grass, yeast. Appearance, nose, and flavor are all lighter than expected. Light body as well, a bit watery, which drowns out some of the spice.
