Oct 6, 2009 Tap at Barleys Smokehouse Columbus OH. Sweet, sugary, with lots of pumpkin flavor. OK for a pumpkin beer but I really don’t like pumpkin....

Oct 6, 2009 Updated: Oct 31, 2009On tap at RnH. Was this made from Belgian pumpkins? I taste clove, pumpkin, malty sweetness, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar. Full flavored, and not like a typical brown ale plus a few spices, which is the way some brewers seem to do it. This is excellent - Is it the highest rated pumpkin ale? Adrian thinks it should be, and I concur. Hats off to Puca! Pumking is a worthy way to toast in the Halloween season.

Oct 5, 2009 22oz bottle 10/5/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a clear orangish golden with a small ring for a head. Aroma of a slice of pumpkin pie. Taste of the same with all of them very well blended. This medium bodied rew has to be the best Pumpkin beer I have tried. The ABV is very well hidden. GREAT brew.

Oct 5, 2009 RnH: Yes! Is this the promised land?! The holy Grail of pumpkin patches?! honestly tastes like a scoop from the center of a pie, mashed, boiled, fermented into autumnal greatness!

Oct 5, 2009 Tap @ Stanton House, NYC. Between this and the Dogfish Head pumpking ale wins the crown. Real fresh, fleshy pumpkin with strong clove, nutmeg and cinnamon notes. The selection of malts provides a creaminess to provide a "a la mode" effect. Damn good beer.

Oct 5, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Deep, translucent amber-orange with a very small, foamy, white head. The head is gone pretty quickly.
Aroma: Grainy pumpkin bread, earthy, and doughy. Strange stuff indeed.
Flavor: Very similar to the nose but heavy on the pumpkin spice, especially the clove. Like a dense, slightly bitter pumpkin pie. Interesting and pretty tasty.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a dense, rich, mouthfeel. A long, pumpkin pie spice finish.
Overall: A great example of the style that is worth giving a try. This one isn’t going to be for everyone though. My girlfriend though it was like drinking a pumpkin candle.

Oct 5, 2009 Aroma of pumpkin pie spices, buttery crust, and light on the dough. Flavor is the same as the aroma and powered by the 9% abv. The spices are very prominent and damn’d enjoyable. Easily my favorite pumpkin brew.
