Jan 22, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a deep orangey/brown cloudy color ale with a nice foamy head with average retention and lacing. Aroma of cinnamon and cloves are dominant but some pumpkin is also noticeable. Taste is a well balance mix between cloves and cinnamon with some subtle pumpkin. Body is above average with adequate carbonation and some light warming alcohol. Very interesting take on the style and probably the best pumpkin beer I ever had.

Jan 14, 2007 Thanks to Springslicker for bringing this to the Nashville Tasting. I had been wanting to try this for awhile. Pours orange amber iwth an off white head. Lots of nutmeg in the aroma, with accents of cinnamon candy red hots. Texture and malt backbone is a tad thin. However, the flavor is a nice blend of pumpkin spices, sweet malt, and alcohol. One of the better pumpkin beers I have had this beer. Be careful though, this is not a session.

Jan 9, 2007 This pours as a dark orange, almost amber brew with a large, creamy light brown head.
Spicy pumpkin aroma. Good, but I’ve had much better.

Jan 1, 2007 I really enjoyed this beer. I was a little concerned due to the fact that pumpkins and beer don’t seem to mix well...but this beer changes my thoughts. The beer is dark amber and smells great with the pumpkin coming through. The taste pretty much refelects the smell as it contains: pumpkin, cinnamon, cloves and a little nutmeg. All these flavors mix quite well, and it really does remind me of pumpkin pie, which really caught me off guard. The finish is nice and clean, and Ieft me wanting another. Maybe I liked this beer more because I was expected less? Could be. I don’t think this is a beer or style for everyone though.

Dec 31, 2006 Clear orangey brown body, white head. Overly spicy aroma with a hint of pumpkin in it. Flavour has more pumpkin at the beginning, but the end is all spice.

Dec 30, 2006 Updated: Jan 27, 2007Just not as sweet and flavorful as the southhamptom pumpkin ale. This would be a good one if you enjoy dry and bland beer. I do not.

Dec 28, 2006 22 oz. bottle served cold. pours dark red. smells richly of spices, the bottle says cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves. a thin off-white head dissipates very quickly. the front of the palate is creamy, the spices are blended well. i think the pumpkin is the most prevalent spice i tasted, and there was no presence of alcohol. nice drink. very tasty.

Dec 28, 2006 Surprisingly dry for a pumpkin ale. Spicy and earthy. I could use a little more sweetness.
