Commercial Description:
Brewed with Pumpkin and Spices(Cinnamon,Nutmeg,Cardamom,Cloves). This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is heartier, spicier, and more caramelly and pumpkiny than its faint brethren! Perfect finisher on a cool autumn night, or match it up with a slice of pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. If you don't agree this is the mother of all pumpkin ales, then you just don't like mothers!

Sampled at Gingermans in NYC. Pour was copper. Upfront notes of pumpkin, spice, and ginger flavors are present.. Alcohol not very noticeable for 8%. Crisp and lively.

This ale has a cinnamon, cloves and some nutmeg nose followed by a maltosweet pumpkin pie flavor with an autumn touch.

The essence of fall on a hot August night. Sweet and spicy aroma. Amber with a small head. Flavor is crisp pumpkin and spice, not sweet though. Nice carbonation gives it a lively feel. Great time of year with all the fall beers coming out.

Pours a blood orange with moderate white head. Aroma has a lot of pumpkin pie qualities: pumpkin, allspice, and ginger. Flavor is quite similar with a lot of Thanksgiving qualities. The palate is a bit thin, and there’s a slightly sour finish. Can’t wait to give it a shot closer to Thanksgiving.

A 12oz bottle poured almost straight into a tulip glass reveals a rich ruby beer with a big thick and frothy eggshell head. The aroma is pumpkin bread all the way with definite pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon - the usual spices - and a dash of malt and alcohol if you try for it. The flavor is notably maltier than the aroma, especially towards the middle-end, as the beginning lands on sweet and the ending lands on big spices. The exhale of breath tastes the most like pumpkin bread or pie. One of the better pumpkins I’ve had.

Another bottle, courtesy of adrian910ss. Best trader on ratebeer, if you ask me. Pours a dark amber colour with a white head and reddish undertones. Aroma of spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin and a bit of alcohol. Tastes like pumpkin pie in liquid form without the sweetness.

Bottle thanks to HogtownHarry! Pours a very still, deep a murky orangey/brown. Appears lifeless as there is no carbonation here. Nose is nice with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, pumpkin pie, brown sugar, a bit of earthy malts. Flavour is good. Sweet malts with hoppy spices. Nutmeg and cinnamon again. Flat mouthfeel. Again, this isn’t carbonated at all. Very strange. A tasty brew regardless. Thanks Harry!

Wow. Beautiful colour~a deep brown glaze with radiant orange whiskey highlights blazing through. Complex nose of spice, cloves, pumpkin, banana pie and bubblegum. Taste is rather hoppy...wasn’t expecting that...but yeah, hoppy, spicy, has a bit of a nutmeg bite to it that is pleassing. The pumpkin is certainly evident, as is the alcohol which adds a nice little burn. Very classy beer, unique personality and full of character. Would love to drink again on a chilly attumn night.
