Oct 22, 2008 Courtesy of damienblack.
Pours orange, white head.
Aroma, lots of pumpkin and spices.
Taste of pumpkin with cinnamon in aftertaste.
Hoppy with enough spices, leaves a lingering thick / metalic mouthfeel.

Oct 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy of sebletitje. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin spice and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Decent.

Oct 21, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Aroma nicely blends earthy pumpkin with spices and grassy hops. Pours a beautiful hazy orange. Nice flourish of bubbles, culminating in an off-white head that leaves abundant lace. First sips are really nice, rich pumpkin, grass, cinnamon, nutmeg are all there and well harmonized. But further down in the glass, the pumpkin’s earthiness has faded, and an unpleasant metallic tang has taken its place. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium body.

Oct 19, 2008 Bottle. Love this stuff. Pours a dark, pumpkiny orange color with a small white foamy head. Nose is pumpkins and spices. Palate is the standard smutty, thick but fizzy, and the flavors are of pumpkins, a nice caramel malt, and some hints of nutmeg.

Oct 19, 2008 orange with mild head. decent spicy nose. no discernible malt flavor, some cinnamon and ginger notes with some hop bitterness at the end. probably average to slightly above average for the style, but not in the class of the elite of pumpkin ales

Oct 19, 2008 On tap at Not Your Average Joe’s. I am hoping that the bottled version was much better than the tap. Muted smell, completely lacking any pumpkin notes and almost lacking any smell whatsoever. The taste was a little spicy, but once again lacked any pumpkin flavor.

Oct 19, 2008 Pours a clear orange with a satisfying white head with half-decent retention. Aroma is very sweet and spicy, particularly as it warms. Surprising gravity and hop bitterness, present alcohol, bitter pumpkin spice & hop finish. Cardamom, cinnamon, cloves. Good carbonation, chewy and smooth. This pumpkin ale packs a bit of a kick - more aggressively beer-like than many pumpkin beers I’ve tasted, but I like that, for a change. Many thanks to jjpm74 for the trade!

Oct 19, 2008 Oct. 19, 2008; 12 oz. bottle fr. Smuttynose variety 12-pack. First experience with a pumpkin ale. Faint herbal aroma. Early spice gives way to a puckering sour astringency that becomes increasingly unpleasant through a long finish. Trying to keep an open mind -- I’m a fan of the brewery, just not the style.
