2008-12-22. Orangey amber body, modest beige head. (3+) Perfumey spice in the aroma mostly blows off, sweet mild fruit notes. (6+) Flavour is thinner than hoped. Mild spices, muted malt and pumpkin. very light bitterness in the finish. Average plus palate. Not but frankly pretty disappoint since I have been wanting to try it for a long time, and it lacks the oomph and richness of more recent examples like ST Pumpking or Michigan Screaming Pumpkin. <i>Bottle shared by GregClow</i>

Split bottle with Butters at 1st Cellar Blowout. Poured a white head with and orange color. Smells like pumpkin pie. Tastes of pumpkin and caramel with a medium body. Slighlty astringent.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma of cinnamon, allspice, clove, tart fruit and hops. Malty flavor with lots of cinnamon and clove with apple and a mild hop finish.

Pours a slightly hazy University of Texas burnt orange with a ring of white bubbles for a head. Pumpkin, nutmeg, and cinnamon aroma. More veggie than spice, but without that awful burnt Jack-O-Lantern that some beers get. Nice, spicy taste. The blend gives it a pumpkin bread flavor versus the expected pumpkin pie. More grain and some caramel malt show through. First pumpkin ale that has an ale flavor to it. A tad metallic at times, but easily dismissed. Lower carbonation enhances the flavor. Nice beer.

Pours clear amber with thin ring of white head. I dont even like this style, but the aroma is great. Pumpkin pie, nutmeg, cinamin, spice, everything nice. flavor just doesnt stand up. it still is pumpkin spice, but I just dont really like drinking it. Alcohol in flavor.
