Sep 29, 2009 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.

Sep 28, 2009 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.

Sep 26, 2009 Bottle drink by J-10. Hazy golden color, lighter than I’d expected. Pretty heavy carbonation and light body. Tastes like pumpkin pie spices (cinnamon and nutmeg) rather than pumpkin, but the same could be said for most. Mediocre.

Sep 26, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Colour... very light gold and a thin head. Nose... light spice and squash, but not pumpkin; more like hubbard squash. Palate... very thin and watery, some spice, gentle C02 and a pie crust finish.

Sep 25, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from New Beer, 9/25/09
Aroma: This one has a nice pumpkin spice nose, in addition I get some yeast and sugar
Appearance: Golden-orange color, small white head that dissipates pretty quickly, no lacing
Flavor: The taste is a little too sweet, but pretty nice, a sugar/spice/yeast flavor, a little on the sweet side
Palate: This one is light to medium in body, with a slightly carbonated and smooth mouthfeel
Overall Impression:
Overall I thought this was a decent pumpkin beer that leans more toward the sweet then the spice. I guess the main issue with this one is that the pumpkin taste more like pumpkin candy and less like that nice warming spice that makes for a great pumpkin beer.
All in all though, I liked it, it’s a solid beer.

Sep 24, 2009 A nice solid effort. The spices only seem to kick in as an aftertaste, but it is sort of nice. A solid general drinker, but not a big mouth of pumpkin or spice.
