Aug 29, 2006 [bottle] Excellent appearance- bright amber with a full, frothy head. Excellent lacing on the glass. Aroma is very spicy- nutmeg, cinnamon and certainly some pumpkin. Kind of has some odd soapy smell going on as well. Flavors are pretty much right on, as expected. Sweet ginger and nutmeg make up most of the initial flavors, giving way to a nice spiciness towards the end.

Aug 25, 2006 Delicious! This is a more mild and mellow pumpkin beer. Not too much spice upfront which is good. Most pumpkin ales are so heavily spiced you can only have one. The spice creeps up at the end here. Can easily put down a six. Nice murky orange color. Smooth and tasty! A perfect example of a balanced pumpkin beer. Enjoy this with apples and razorblades

Aug 21, 2006 Nice spicy pumpkin aroma. I get more pumpkin in the aroma than the taste. Taste has a nice balance of sweetness and spice. A good beer, but I’m not going crazy over it.

Aug 14, 2006 This is one of the most highly underrated brews I’ve come across to date. The pour is a beautiful orange-hazy copper, with a great head, retention and sticky lacing. The nose is spot on for fresh pumpkin pie, cinammon and ginger. Flavors of deep-spiced pumpkin pulp/meat (nutneg first, then Allspice, ginger and cinammon), with a nice earthy finish. The mouthfeel is medium-round, and the carbonation nicely provides to cleanse the palate for most cream-based foods. This is a VERY good offering, and truly the best pumpkin ale I’ve ever had!

Aug 10, 2006 12 oz bottle shared with Dan. Pours a nice orange/light amber with a medium frothy head. Aroma is very spicy, I get the aroma of freshly grated ginger, and nutmeg in the aroma. taste is light pumpkin, malt, and lots of spices. Spices and pumpkin seem to compliment rather than dominate this beer, very good.

Aug 9, 2006 Bottle. Amber, with a medium white head. Aroma is heavenly pumpkin and spices associated with pumpkin pie. Flavor is pumpkin and the spices are very subdued, almost invisible in the background. Body is a little thin and watery. Hoppy/spicy aftertaste, but it doesn’t last very long. Overall, smells great, but doesn’t deliver in the flavor. Too bad, I really like the aroma.

Jun 22, 2006 12 oz bottle. Deep orange beer, thin white head. Sweet toasty nose, toffee, sweet cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Pumpkiny character. Flavour is quite subtle actually, spice, black pepper and a little bit boozy, orangey flavour towards the finish. A bit hot and overattenuated for the style. Woody spices in the finish. The spices seem to be a bit stale and old. Not one of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had.
