Nov 19, 2005 Bottle2 (2x12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev - courtesy of blankboy and myself. What a surprise! Poured hazy bright reddish-orange with a small diminishing white head, a few tiny white floaties at the bottom of the bottle. Aroma very sharp, of actual pumpkin, almost sweet, with pumpkin spices - this is vegetal, but for once in a good way. Taste follows the aroma, a little sharper, with some pungent hops on the finish, very refreshing. Mouthfeel is fairly full, spicy, almost creamy, certainly lively. Very nice and appropriate for the autumn season.

Nov 18, 2005 Was told this was one of the better Pumpkin Ales to try. Well I bought a six pack and went home with it. Well I was not very impressed. It barely had any hint of pumpkin and was quite bitter.
I would not recommend this.

Nov 15, 2005 Aroma has a bit of nice pumpkin and spices, and flavor does as well, but unfortunately is a bit off tasting. Pretty watery too.

Nov 11, 2005 This beer smells like a pumpkin pie for the first few sips! I like that in a beer. After that it tastes like nothing special. It’s good to have around on tap in fall, but I don’t think I’ll cry when it goes away for the winter.

Nov 7, 2005 This ale rocked, very spicy with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course pumpkin. This beer even smelled like a pumpkin, and is an excellent fall beer.

Oct 31, 2005 Bottle. Copper color with white head. Nose of sweet pumpkin, nutmeg, clove, and pepper balanced nicely with light malt and hops. Flavor was well balanced, not too much spice, with a nice crisp finish. A little light in body, but overall a tasty seasonal treat. I don’t take pumpkin ales to task like some; they’re kitschy, but that’s part of the fun. Drank this while carving a vampire pumpkin. What’s not to love?

Oct 29, 2005 Pours transluscent light orange with thin, dissipating offwhite head. Aroma of light pumpkin, pepper spice, clove. Light flavor of spice, clove, pumpkin, malt and hop. Smooth palate. One of the lighter pumpkin beers I’ve had.
