Sep 16, 2006 Bottle from John (jjpm) Thanks! Orange colored pour, white head. Smell is pumpkin pie, sugars, sweet grains. Taste is similar, very smooth though. I dunno, Id drink this over alot of the other pumpkin beers. Awesome brewery though, I wish they got more hype than they do, but theres plenty of other mediocre brewers that brew shit that gets hyped that steals points away from smutty. Nice stuff.

Sep 12, 2006 Thanks crwills for bringing a 2005 vintage, still well before expiry. The aroma was yeasty and hoppy. It was orange with good lace. Fizzy carbonation. In a word, ginger - but it worked. Nice spices and balanced sweet sour that I would like in a sauce. Dry finish. Very good craftsmanship. I will have again.

Sep 7, 2006 I was a little dissappointed with this brew.
weak flavor, aroma, and palate. not bad - but smuttynose is such a good brand and this just falls way short.\\

Sep 4, 2006 Nice lasting foamy head. Orangy pour. Nutmeg, cinnamon and squash. Great tasting beer. Probably shouldn’t have tried it right after mowing the lawn, but the spiciness did hit the spot.

Sep 2, 2006 bottle. Maybe the best pumpkin ale i’ve ever had. very nice aroma. deep amber color that was thick. flavor is very well balanced with a good blend of spices. Not too overpowering. No bad aftertaste which i usually find with pumpkin ales. Good brew. Cheers!

Aug 30, 2006 Just a little head on this glowing orange-brown beer. Smells of, you guessed it, pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. Tastes pretty spicy up front, but the pumpkin taste, while slight (and THAT is appreciated), is lacking. Kind of a dirty finish to this brew. Overall, a conservative and not bad effort at the style.

Aug 30, 2006 Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a clear amber color with a small amount of ivory bubbles. Aroma is of cinnamon and pumpkin. Taste is of nutmeg and sweet malt. Starts more bitter and definitely ends sweet.

Aug 29, 2006 Nice frothy, foamy head that settles into a thin layer of bubbles on the surface. Citusy aroma of grapefruit, pumpkin, spices (nutmeg, cinnamon), hops, malt. Overall a predominantly hoppy flavor, but with a great pumpkin presence and elements of malt and grains. Pretty good, although these sorts of beers aren’t usually my thing.
