Nov 1, 2008 22oz bottle. This beer is awful. Pours hazy amber with a large offwhite head, decent retention, spider web lace. Smells sickly, spicy sweet. Tons of allspice and cinnamon, with a bit of vanilla and a hint of pumpkin. Way too much spice and not enough... well, beer. Tastes spicy sweet as well but not as sickly. Allspice and cinnamon with some pumpkin. Awful nose and flavor, drain pour. Medium body, fizzy carbonation. Overcarbonated in general.

Pours a clear orangish amber with a short lived off-white head that showed decent retention and lacing.
The smell is fantastic, like a pumpkin pie. Huge Pumpkin aroma with brown sugar and spices with some base malt.
The taste is a little spicier than the aroma with nutmeg, cinnamon and addition spices. There is an underlying malt sweetness with some pumpkin and a hint of hops.
The mouthfeel is medium bodied with lots of carbonation.
This is the most authentic pumpkin ale I’ve tasted in recent memory and a perfect drink for Halloween evening.

Oct 31, 2008 Updated: Nov 1, 2008Bomber. Pours clear bright golden orange with white head. Aroma is loaded with pumpkin pie, cinnamon, nutmeg, bread and squash. Flavor is pumpkin pie to the ’T’. Loaded with pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla and a little doughy. If there goal was to make a brew that taste like pumpkin pie they have definitly succeeded. Really good stuff. I dont think I need a whole bomber , but still pretty damn good.

Oct 31, 2008 What a truly well done pumpkin beer. Aroma is vegetal, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, and probably some other things I’ll smell when I have this again. The appearance is pumpkin orange. The flavor is a pumpkin explosion. Thats the beast I can come up with. Great beer!

Oct 30, 2008 Bottle shared by durhambeer. Thanks Bob! Had this one a few times over the past year. Nose is straight up pumpkin pie with an emaphasis on the crust. Flavor is equally pumpkin-y with more spices and a good helping of cream. This is a great pumpkin beer but that doesn’t mean I want a whole bottle of it. Like many of the special southern tier beer, 3-4 ounces is about all I can handle.

Oct 30, 2008 I love this beer. It’s expensive, but worth it. They weren’t afraid to be generous on the pumpkin, and they hopped it up nicely. Good job.

Oct 30, 2008 A pumpkin ale that actually has the taste of pumpkin instead of just over the top cinnamon and clove. This is new! I really love this beer, a great fall treat.

Oct 29, 2008 P00tz sez....It wasn’t long before I grew weary of my employment with the postal service. Long hours of perusing around neighborhoods barely leaving the interior of my transport. P00tz needs more excitement in his day to day. It is with great pleasure that P00tz has taken apprentice with a mercenary and is learning his craft. This beer pours a soft copper orange with a nose and flavor reminiscent of eating raw pumpkin meat covered in nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and vanilla. P00tz likes.
