Sep 24, 2008 Robust malt and spice aroma. Clear orange color with a small off white head. Bread and spice flavor fading in the finish.

Sep 24, 2008 Updated: Sep 27, 2009 Bottled, thanks PilsnerPeter! Clear deep golden, minimal head. Overpowering gingersnaps aroma. Very sweet with thick, dense mouthfeel. A one flavour beer - fatty gingersnaps and sweet potatoe is the clostes I can relate to. Very sugary, extremely sweet and very powerful. Alcohol and syrup dominates the finish along with this extreme spice flavour. As subtle as an elephant in an antique store and as refreshing as tabasco. A beer for sipping in minimal amounts, but that really has no depth or even any pleasant flavours.

Sep 23, 2008 Bottle. Aroma and taste of pumpkin spices. A little over spiced for my liking. I say less pumpkin, more beer.

Sep 22, 2008 Holy crap, pumkin pie! Smells of fresh baked pumpkin pie, taste is more of that, liquified pumkin pie, with a lot of spicey goodness to accompany it. Can almost taste the whipped cream on top. Far and away the best pumpkin beer out there.

Sep 22, 2008 Slightly hazy orange body with copper and bronze highlights and a very thin slightly off-white head - very little carbonation shown from the pour! Aroma is crazy - more nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon than you’d smell in pumpkin pie!!! This aroma is amazing - seriously one of the best and most ’realistic’ [to the object the brewmasters are trying to recreate] beers i’ve smelt! Full-bodied; Super chewy mouthful with a potent alcohol flavour. Good spice throughout with more of the pumpkiny flavours roaming long with a ton of brown sugar and caramalised swetness. Overall, a potent and very festive beer for the season. If you can stomach the whole bottle or pass it around the table, you’ll be a hit for Thanksgiving! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Clarendon), Virginia on 10-August-2008, sampled on 21-September-2008.

Sep 21, 2008 I don’t generally like pumpkin ales, but I found myself a fan of this one. Good pumpkin flavor was, unlike its brethren, not overwhelmed by heavy spicing. With a nice balance and bright alcohol, this beer leaves a sweet finish on the palate.
