Oct 5, 2008 This was a very interesting and complex beer!!! It poured a clear orange color with some carbonation bubbles rising in glass. There was only a thin tan head that disappeard to just a film rather quickly. I would have rated appearance higher if it had a nice head.
The aroma was very complex. I detected nutmeg, cloves, caramel and what I thought was kettle corn as well as spice cake. There was a slighly creamy texture to the beer and a combination of a spice cake/kettle corn flavor. This was a excellent beer and my favorite pumpkin beer so far.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle acquired via beastiefan2k...Eugene, you ROCK!!! This is definitely the most authentic pumpkin-flavored beer I’ve ever had. The pumpkin pie spices are a bit more subtle (cinnamon, nutmeg, all-spice, sugar) than in other examples I’ve had. It does taste as if this one is actually brewed with pumpkin. Can actually taste the buttery, flakey crust...incredible spicy, genuine pumpkin flavor, and invisible alcohol. A great beer!!!

Oct 4, 2008 slightly cloudy amber brew with fair amount of carbonation present on the side of the glass. Extremely pumpkin pie aroma, solid all-spice and nutmeg in the forefront. Light to medium bodied. strong alcohol burn initially then overwelming pumpkin and all-spice, nutmeg flavor...Outstanding.

Oct 4, 2008 I actually like this more than any pumpkin beer I’ve ever had, but that’s not saying much for me.
It’s kind of like pumpkin taffy without the sugar. It’s smooth, and it’s spicy- but the spicy is more cinnamon and clove rather than cinnamon and nutmeg.
I’m sure I’m gonna buy it again before this season is over.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle. Sparkling orange/amber color with a small head. Aroma smells of roasted pumpkin and nice smooth malt. Flavor actually tastes like my mom’s homemade pumpkin pie and not like pumpkin pie spices. Wow, well done and this is the best pumpkin beer I have ever had.

Oct 2, 2008 Bottle: Pour is medium clear golden with a lasting off-white head. Aroma is strong of real pumkin and a ton of nutmeg, allspice, and clove. Very well blended brew right away but after 10 seconds, the spice took over and it became a bit over-spiced. Damn good effort by Southern Tier and a damn good brew but just a little tweaking could do a ton for this brew. Alcohol was well hidden and Flavor overall was not lacking even the slightest. Good brew and I would definitely go out of my way to buy this brew for Thanksgiving to share with my family and friends. Damn good Holiday beer.

Oct 1, 2008 Pours a clear honey amber with white head. Smells of cloves pumpkin and caramel. Flavor reminds me of a starbuck’s pumpkin latte. Body is light with little carbonation.

Oct 1, 2008 Absolutely the best pumkin beer I have ever tasted. Don’t pass this one up. Tasted like liquid pumkin pie. Score one for Phin and the crew! Can’t wait till next year to get some more.
