Oct 18, 2009 Loved this! Not too sweet but a faint fruity smell, nice foamy head but not too frothy with a nice lacing. Great deep brown color and very fragrant. I thought on tap this was very pricy @ $4.00 a glass but I did have 3 so it must have been good.

Oct 12, 2009 Updated: Oct 14, 2009Pretty strong aroma of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove). Poured an orange color with a small white head. Good upfront spicy flavors; the pumpkin flavor comes in more towards the end. Was a little thin. A pleasant surprise.

Sep 10, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly’s, 9/10/09
Aroma: Has the typical pumpkin spice aroma, I get a lot of spice, and not much else
Appearance: Nice clear amber color, very minimal head, light lace
Flavor: Nice spice, malt flavor, not much atypical going on here, put good pumpkin flavors
Palate: Nice fizzy mouthfeel, medium body, drinks nicely
Overall Impression:
My 1st Pumpkin beer of ’09, and I’m watching the first NFL game of the year as I drink it, its officially fall now, that’s for sure. This is a solid example of a style that I enjoy for it’s ability to remind me of fall more then it’s taste characteristics. I like starting my September off with a nice Pumpkin Ale like this one.

Aug 13, 2009 Bottle Pours a lightly hazy amber, with a thin quickly deminishing off white head. Lacing is quite thin. Has a good aroma of pumpkin and spices. Has decent carbonation. The flavor is good but has a touch of blandness. Has all the seasonal spiciness but lacks some depth. That being said this is very tasty. Has a watery texture. Has a medium body. The finish and aftertaste are good. Definately and seasonal to try.

Mar 7, 2009 Savannah, Ga. Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 pk - part of variety 12 pack. Bright copper pour, long lasting, sticky white head. Hint of sweet spices in the aroma, not unpleasant, hints of fresh lake water. Flavor has some of the same sweet spicy elements, nutmeg comes to mind. Some pumpkin is noted in there as well. Mouthfeel is pleasantly sticky and thick enough. Not a bad pumpkin ale - a selection that is beginning to get a bit overwrought, but his one sits right.

Jan 16, 2009 Bottle on 09/27/2008 from Once Upon A Vine - South. Clear copper amber body with a medium creamy off-white head. Big pumpkin aroma with some light nutmeg and allspice. More allspice and pumpkin flavor, light nutmeg lingering behind. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Dec 30, 2008 12 ounce bottle from Total Wine in Richmond, VA. Pours a clear reddish orange color with not much of an attempt at a head. Aroma is mainly pumpkin spice with some light pumpkin notes. Taste is straight up pumpkin spice with some malty notes. Bitter finish, but otherwise a bit too much on the sweet side. Thin bodied. Drinkable and fairly pleasant, but also boring and uncomplex.

Dec 1, 2008 Bottle pours an amber body with no head. Sweet sticky malty body. Light pumpkin cinnamon flavor. Hints of spice with no etoh or hops.
