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.

Dec 20, 2009 Picked up this beer in October, just found it in the back of the fridge. The pour is clear, light orange, little to no bubbles on top for a head. The aroma is pretty much pumpkin. The flavor is dominated by the pumpkin through out. The hops are nice and crisp and the malts are more subtle than the pumpkin. The carbonation is kind-a high. But probably my favorite pumpkin beer to date.

Dec 20, 2009 Really nice pumpkin beer that is very light on the spiciness. A lot of times this style gets a bad rap and deservedly so for all of the spice and crap that gets added. Not so here. Well done on capturing a nice pumpkin flavor with an appropriate amount of spice and sweetness to bring it all together.

Dec 13, 2009 When it comes to pumpkin ales, this is the King. There is only one thing I really need to say about this beer. If you liquified pumpkin pie, this beer is what you would have. Its amazing. Everything about it, love it. So great for the season.

Dec 9, 2009 If any pumpkin beer would get me over the hump on this style, it would be this one, but alas it was not to be. Bright amber color. Rich cooked pumpkin aroma, like a can of pumpkin pie filling. No spice, which was good. Flavor was just a little pumpkin, more graham cracker and light malt. Semi-dry finish, where it could have used a little more residual sweetness.

Dec 6, 2009 22 oz bomber pours dark orange/hazy brown with solid tan head. Aroma is insanely complex: clove, cinnamon, vanilla, molasses and others. Tast is incredibly sweet, with tons of spice carrying through. Not a ton of pumpkin flavor, but ST managed to do something with the body to give it an almost dry-like pie crust feel on the tongue. This is an incredibly unique beer with the ABV hidden well. I wouldn’t say it’s a great "pumpkin" ale per se, but it’s a fantastic spiced beer. Advice: drink in limited quantities.

Dec 6, 2009 Not a big fan of pumpkin ales but being Southern Tier, I figured this was worth a try and was pleasantly surprised. Pour is hazy orange w/ a soapy sparse head, huge aroma of pumpkin bread and pumpkin spice, flavor is pumpkin spices and powdered sugar, full-bodied, alcohol is very subtle, great fall brew

Nov 29, 2009 On tap @ the Beer Engine. I was SO excited to find it on tap since I thought I totally missed the season and any chance of getting some pumking this year. Pours a very pumpkin orange only a slight bit of off-white head. Beautiful natural pumpkin taste, nutmeg spices and everything nice. Quite a treat, certainly the best pumpkin beer I’ve had thus far.

Nov 26, 2009 Pours a bright orange color with a Foamey medium sized Tope head. Notes of butter, nutmeg, raw pumpkin paste, more spices and sweetbread. Medium thin mouthfeel with a decent finish. Tasty.
