duff (5404), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Jan 29, 2008 Bottle (Many thanks to HogTownHarry). Well, this was just not for me at all. Unbelievably cloying and sweet and over spiced. I really struggled through this one. Noticeable alcohol and one dimensionally sweet/sugary. I’m kind of sorry for rating it so low as its rated so high here, but on the other hand i just couldn’t get into this one at all. Not a good experience.
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.
