Commercial Description:
This frothy ale is made with 9 different specialty malts, 100% English Fuggle hops, and nearly 300 pounds of real pumpkin. During and after the boil, we add a subtle blend of fresh-ground spices, resulting in a very smooth and malty, complex ale with noble hop and spice aroma. We hope you will get a chance to enjoy this limited offering, and no, it’s not just a glass of grandma’s pumpkin pie, it’s still a beer.

Re-Rate. Pours copper with a small white head. Strong aroma of store bought pumpkin pie filling, with just a bit a nutmeg and allspice. Flavor follows the aroma well, most pumpkin pie like beer I’ve had this season. Palate is a medium, semi-sweet, and a bit spicy. Great take on this style, very meaty (as in pumpkin meat), like a drinkable pumpkin pie...delicious. Big surprise from Wild Goose.

Great pumpkin ale, with the emphasis on pumpkin. Not overly spicy like most offerings this time of year. The brewery is back in good hands and it shows in their ales. Nice fall brew.

12 oz bottle. Well the pour was amber with creamy orange head. Nose was pumpkin pie(spice). Taste was pumpkin, and seet tart finish. Not a bad pumpkin beer. Body was medium.

Had this on tap at the brewery. Poured a beautiful orange amber. Caramel and cinnamon in the nose, but not overly spiced. This is one of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had ... most tend toward over spicing them. Lingering taste of cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamum in the finish. A nice one.

GABF 2006. Dark amber body. Nose is pumpkin pie with some sweet malts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and spices. Taste is more pumpkin pie notes, ample spices, and some sweet maltiness. The palate is light-medium with mild carbonation fizziness. Ends with more pumpkin, spice, hint of fruit and sweet malts.

Poured a copper-amber color with an ok head, mild lacing. The aroma was malty with some light typical pumpkin ale spicing. The flavor was quite neat within the style, started off with a hit of some spice, carbonation amplifies it, then moved toward a sweet malt, pumpkins and candy sweetness, very light must, changing over to a bitter aftertaste that lingers in the mouth to balance a later-lingering sweet pumpkin malt with some cookie dough elements. Lots of transitions going on in the flavor, which I enjoyed. Pumpkin pie in the bottle? Perhaps. Re-rate, 11/08: Bottle from State Line. Pour was full amber, head and lacing on the low side of normal. The aroma was pumpins and spices. The flavor followed with cinnamon and nutmeg seemingly most prominent. The flavor could have been more fuller, as could too the mouthfeel. An ok brew.

Bottle from Slob. Thanks! Pours thin and highly carbonated with an amber hue. Aroma is a slice of pumpkin pie. Flavor follows suit. This is a damn fine pumpkin; I don’t care what anyone says.

Not bad considering its style. Good if you like pumpkin but a waste of time otherwise......
