| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jan 11, 2009 Such a total pumpkin pie aroma, the vegetal pumpkin as well as the bready crust. A lot of spices, cinnamon, nutmeg, all pumpkin pie smells. Taste mirrors the very vegetal pumpkin with a lot of spices too. Some sweetness, but really just an overall dazzling blast of pumpkin pie. Quite delicious. Braudog (3782), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 11, 2009 Bright orange with a creamy but thin white head. The aroma is pretty timid, but this pours on a huge gourdy flavor like pumpkin pie filling and brings along an almost creamy feel. Definitely a fall beer and for those who enjoy unusual beers.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 6, 2009 Tulip on tap. Great aroma with buttery nutmeg, cinnamon, fresh dough, pumpkin, with some autumn crispness. Thin head, dark brown-orange color, like pumpkin pie filling. Taste is better than even the aroma advertises, with huge quantities of the aroma spices, lots of pumpkin, very very buttery with the boozy warmth. Great autumn beer, and one of the reasons I look forward to fall every year. marchcow (664), Coralville, Iowa, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 5, 2009 Aromas of pumpkin bread, nutmeg, cinnamon and peaches with a hint of cookie. Light orangish and amber colors with a a bubbly head and good lacing. Pumpkin and spice flavors, with a bitter balance. Finishes with bread and sweet vanilla. Mild to medium creamy palate. Pretty good. checkmatei1 (630), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 5, 2009 Bottle: Poured an orange color with not much head. The aroma was strange, sweet, hazelnut and caramel. The flavor was also strange. Had some nutty characteristics, some sweet malts and a strong ’real’ pumpkin flavor. None of that imitation pie filling taste. It was a little too much real pumpkin for me. masonjer (564), Holt, Michigan, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2009 Been wanting to try this one for awhile. Had this on tap. Aroma was unbelievable, nutmeg, butter (in a good way), pie crust and pumpkin. Taste was much the same, with big spices and a great pumpkin pie taste. This is a pretty crazy beer, if you can call it that. I want a candle that smells just like this beer. gunhaver (1044), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Bottle, courtesy tpdgreg, I think. Clear golden color amber pour, creamy head and lacing. Aroma is basically just pumpkin pie. And not a simulation of pumpkin pie, but PUMPKIN FUCKING PIE. Dry buttery crust, peanut butter cookies, bread, cinnamon. Here it is, the best smelling beer I’ve experienced. Flavor is terrible. Wait it’s great too! Dry pumpkin pie, malty biscuit, sugar cookies, brown sugar, big on cinnamon and orgasms. Very sweet, dry tasty flavors make this extremely drinkable and delicious. ABV is nowhere man. What an awesome beer. djones (119), Michigan, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 27, 2008 Clear deep orangeish amber color. Minimal white head. Medium to thin bodied with a smooth carbonation. Tastes of nutmeg and cinnamon spices. Begins with a sweetness that becomes tart and tangy. Towards the end and especially in the aftertaste its almost like youve taken a bite of raw pumpkin. This beer certainly accomplishes the pumkiny flavor they were seeking, however, the raw pumpkin aftertaste is a bit odd actually. Kind of tart, a little bitter, and leaves your mouth very dry. Drinking the beer is enjoyable but the aftertaste is borderline unpleasant.
