Aug 22, 2009 Pours a thin but vibrant orange, slight red tint, headless. Intense aroma of pumpkin bread, sugar cookies, brown sugar, dates. Smells like I’m about to eat dessert. Flavor is slightly buttery with some pumpkin bread. Some notes of figs and dates as well. Overall the flavor is fairly subtle, especially in relation to the intense aroma. Bitter hoppy finish with a slight alcohol burn. The aroma doesn’t match what you’d expect from the flavor. This beer confuses me.

Aug 22, 2009 650 ML Bottle. $6.49 at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville. Pours a very clear light orange amber with only a dusting of a head. Vegetation in the nose: pumpkin and other autumn smells, along with some hint of spice and some bread. Flavor is a well-done crusty pumpkin pie... slightly burnt, slight pepper finish. I don’t like it as much as I’d hoped.

Aug 20, 2009 Wow this was the shit. Tastes like cinnamon nutmeg and pumpkin spice with a dangerous amount of sugar and body to bring this whole thing up to PURE PUMPKIN PIE BEER! Great beer, one that I was hesitant to try, but holy shit this was decadent. Just ridiculous how good it was.

Aug 17, 2009 im not a "pumpkin beer" expert by any means, but this tastes to me just like pumpkin pie. I rated the aroma and the flavor the highest because they are both amazing, very complex and very delicious. The appearance is a tranceparent orange hue. thin white head that dicipates quickly. I really like this beer. Probably the best pumpkin beer ive had. But thats not saying much ive only had 3. Buffalow bills, and dogfish head’s.

Aug 16, 2009 Bottle. Poured a small white head, transparent body, very little carbonation, and a gold hue. The aroma was pumpkin, gingerbread sweet, spicy, some cinammon, some malt, vanilla, and pumpkin pie. The flavor was pumpkin, brown sugar, sweet, spicy, ginger, vanilla, cinammon, and malt. The mouthfeel was tingly and a medium bodied beer. Fairly well balanced and full of pumpkin and gingerbread characteristics, but a little bit of an overkill at the same time. Nonetheless, still worthy of a try.

Aug 8, 2009 Even on a hot humid day, the Fall aromas just scream out of the glass. Lighter than most Pumpkin Ales in terms of color. That may be the only fault in this ale. All the flavors you would expect, but put together so all aspects of the flavors have a chance to shine. Beyond outstanding!!!

Aug 6, 2009 Clear orange-gold pour with a small, short-lived, white head. The aroma is of fresh baked, toasty pie crust with some vanilla, roasted pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavor pretty much follows the aroma with a touch of caramel and just a hint of hops on the finish. A little bit cloying though. Dry medium body with lots of carbonation.
