SDbruboy (1807), San Diego, California, USA Apr 8, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Jerc - thanks man. Pours hazy orange amber with a small off white head. Pumpkin pie aromas, (not at all overdone like some pumpkin beers) sweet squashy notes, a little toasty with brown sugar and pumpkin pie spices. Sweet malty and spicy flavors, pumpkin, molasses, nutmeg, hints of cinnamon and a little peatiness. Medium to full body, gentle carbonation. Nice.
dogfish120love (29), west hartford, Connecticut, USA Aug 6, 2008 very delicious it like eating the best pumkin bread ever. I wish it was october when I was drinking this. very sweet and you can definetly taste nutmeg. thegreenrooster (1452), St.louis, Missouri, USA Aug 5, 2008 Its 95 out and I’m drinking a pumpkin beer. Pour is a bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is is some pumpkin and brown sugar with a bit of nutmeg. Flavor is way off. Super thick with a heavy sweetness and a horrible sourness. Finish is medicinal and bitter. My local Schlafly pumpkin offering is so far superior to this its not even funny. Why do they put this in a 22oz? JohnQPublic (132), Brooklyn, New York, USA Aug 5, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon, bit of vanilla and pumpkin. Taste is ... wow. Taste starts off with a bit of pumpkin and sweet caramel malt, with the nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin just blowing up as the taste progresses. Finish is very odd, bitter spices and very vegetal/medicinal. carbonation is fairly crisp, with a medium body. May try to age a bottle or two to try in a month or so, but right now, the lingering finish kind of throws off the whole beer. tjthresh (1268), LaPorte, Indiana and Belton, Missouri, USA Aug 3, 2008 Pours Texas orange with a little bit of off white head. Nice aroma. Smell like pumpkin pie filling, but on a graham cracker crust. Interesting. I don’t enjoy the flavor nearly as well as the aroma. Its tastey, but just not something that I need 22 ounces of. It starts of with the same character as the flavor, but the linger is odd flavor is a killer. Its kind of medicinal. Medium body, dancing carbonation are great. Again, the aftertaste is a killer. xmarcnolanx (602), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Aug 2, 2008 Damn, this beer is not very good.
Aroma is a little bit meaty pumpkin, sour maltiness, and spices.
Taste is very much the same, but not in a good way.
I like pumpkin beers but this one misses the mark by far.
Finishes sour and disappointing.
