| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 23, 2005 Bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis (and also brought over by PWalk), thanks! Poured a medium and see through clear orange color with a smaller sized white head. Smells like pumpkin pie - pumpikn and spices. I liked this aroma as there it wasn’t artificial like some pumpkin beers I’ve had. Tastes of vanilla, lighter pumpkin and lighter spices. Thinner body. hopscotch (5531), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 4, 2005 Bottle... Clear, burnt orange ale with a large, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Spicy nose with notes of nutmeg, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and pumpkin with a hint of latex. Perfectly balanced, spicy flavor. Thin, though. Light-bodied and bone dry with soft carbonation.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 25, 2005 Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head. Aroma has some mild pumpkin and cinnamon with a hint of toasty malt. Body starts sort of thin with a touch of sugary sweetness and pumpkin flavor. A drinkable beer, but could really stand to be more concentrated. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2007 Bottle courtesy of slob. Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of sweet malt. Tastes tangy with some earthy hints. A good beer, but not very pumpkiny. ¾ (5003), Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 15, 2007 Bottle. Fresh. Perfectly clear amber and red apple colored body with a thin white head. Pretty nice nose of holiday spiced apple cider, marashino cherries, and only a small, candied sweet pumpkin note. Flavor is pasty and a little bland, with some crisp apples, some cider, some cherries and again that same candied pumpkin flavor, finishing with a tart peach skin note.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 13, 2005 Dark copper color with a moderate bubbly taupe head. Does smell like pumpkin pie, complete with a touch of crust. It’s somewhat typical that the ginger does overpower the aroma and that does seem to be the case here as well. Still a very pleasant enough scent. Quite dry with a real pumpkin flavor. The spices seem to dry things out as well really making me thirsty. I could use a little more malt depth in this one.
