Nov 2, 2009 bottle thanks to corey70. pours a rich orange/amber with off white head. aroma is insane with pumpkin pie and spice. drinks extremely easy at 9% and is just a flood of liquid pumpkin pie. the flavor makes you think back to your youth when you get that first piece of pie for the season. finishes with nice cinnamon and nutmeg and just begs to be chugged. absolutly the best pumpkin beer i’ve had to date.

Nov 2, 2009 Bottle via trade thanks to truehumand on BA. Pours clear pumpkin orange with a dissipating off-white head. Aroma is pumpkin, pumpkin spices, gingerbread, corn, and biscuit. Flavor is sweet and very pumpkin pie like with loads of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, butternut squash, and some bready pale malt. Palate is smooth and creamy and slightly warming. Finish is long. Nice pumpkin beer overall, but maybe not quite the king of pumps (or pums I guess - what happened to the other P?).

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Shyam and the Bang-Golly Beer Club. They have a VARIETY of beers. Had waited for this a long time so I am happy it could be my 900th rating. Nose is very full with clove, nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon, maybe a hazelnut, and then very authentic pumpkin. A but on the vegetable side rather than pie, but very good. Full notes of pie crust as well. Color is rather transparent and a standard orange gold. Flavor is much like the aroma, with the soft, sweet pumpkin notes kind of subdued by the spice, which I would take or leave. Texture is not nearly as thick as I would like (yeah, my standard is Big Black Pumpkin) but this is still good, if not comforting. Really good - glad I had it, may even seek out again. PS, barrel age this beer.

Nov 1, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Cletus. Clear orange appearance. Aroma is dry spices and a large element of kettle corn. Quite the autumn smell. Kettle corn and candy corn dominate the taste. Taste is way too dry though and the spices stand unbalanced. Few flavors stand with you past the finish and they are not outstanding flavors.

Nov 1, 2009 Okay, I like this beer, but it tastes like a scented candle. It smells like a scented candle too, but not as much as the flavor. Vanilla, cinnamon, some clove. Alcohol incredibly well hidden. Taste is all pumpkin, without very litttle bready beer flavors underneath. Mildly sweet.

Oct 31, 2009 Clear amber color with a true pumpkin pie aroma. One sip and your palate is treated to nutmeg, pumpkin, clove, and brown sugar. For a pumpkin beer, this one is a real treat.
