Sep 16, 2009 draft. Aroma is amazing, spicy pie. gingery, overwhelming in a good way. Pours a clear dark copper color with a foamy head that dissipates quickly. Medium palate, nicely balanced body. Taste is spicy with a bitter edge, very drinkable. So many pumpkin beers are either gross or not at all pumpkin or spicy, but this one delivers every fall. Mmm. delicious.

Sep 15, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to Kevin for sharing this one. Pours a clear orange with a massive nose of real mashed pumpkins. Light on the spices but I get a little nutmeg. Nice to see a pumpkin beer that doesn’t feel spiced up or artificial. Flavor is once again very full of pumpkin and thankfully not overly sweet or overly spiced. Well balanced and quite nice to drink. Well made.

Sep 14, 2009 Huge aroma as soon as tapped. Very strong pumpkin tastes with a little nutmeg and vanilla flavors. Would certainly not want more than one of these at a time but definitely a great tasting beer.

Sep 13, 2009 Amber color, slight head. Aroma and flavor is pumpkin (obviously) and spices (which really come through in the finish. Not a huge fan of pumpkin flavor or else this would rate much higher for me. Still a damn good beer.

Sep 13, 2009 Bottle. My first of a three bottle Pumpkin Ale tasting...The aroma...GOOD LORD...I agree with a rater below. ST makes some kick ass smelling beers. This one by far had the best pumpkin aroma...The flavor was up front pumpkin. Not a sweet pumpkin either...Devoid of any other spice, the finish was a bit dry and boring for me...Leaving this one my lowest of the three. I can see why some would prefer this though, really, which is actually a compliment to this beer...

Sep 12, 2009 22-oz bottle. Thin head disappeared quickly. Aroma is straight pumpkin pie. Wow, I’ve head a lot of pumpkin ales but never one that tasted like this. Fantastic warming and comforting undertone - basically, doesn’t taste just like pie filling, but pie crust as well. I’ve read that pumpkin isn’t important in the flavoring of a pumpkin ale, but I think the pumpkin comes through here. Complex, sweet, uncommon.

Sep 12, 2009 bottle courtesy of bmartin08, thanks yet again! i smell pumpkins before the cap is even off the bottle. ST makes the best smeeling beers in the world, and this one doesn’t disappoint. smells of huge sweet pumkin pastry, maybe a pumkin pie clif bar. pours is a light gold color with hues of pale lager and ipa. taste is super spicy pumkins, lots of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg cardamon and even a lil thyme/rosemary. drinks really nice and smooth, dangerous.
