Aug 7, 2003 Hazy medium brown color. Tastes like nutmeg, with some medicinal flavors. Thin texture. Strong vegetable taste, corriander, spinach. Didn't taste much like pumpkin really. Some hops and chewy.

Jul 28, 2003 I normally despise these types of beers, but I found the Zig's Pumpkin Ale to be quite enjoyable!!! It's nose is nutmeg, clove and pumpkin pie, and the taste was right on! All it was missing was the Cool Whip topping! Not an everyday drink, but is nowhere near offensive or nasty. Yum! A tasty treat that I wasn't looking forward to trying!

Jul 27, 2003 Artificial pumpkin and spice nose, which initially follows through in the flavor, but not enough. Falls flat, and is really watery. Reminded me of one of Alvie's jokes in Woody Allen's "Annie Hall"...there were two old ladies at a resort commenting on their meal: "the food is terrible," said the first, and the other replied, "and such small portions!" Oh well.

Jul 26, 2003 Beats the Vanilla Porter by a hair - artificial pumpkin, spice and clove like that kids gum...? Spiciness on top of some strained wheat? ale with no head. Metallic. One of the absolute thinnest and fakest beers I've had. Not medicinal like the Vanilla Porter, thank goodness.
