Dec 26, 2009 Bottle: Pours a clear copper with a medium frothy off-white head. Aroma is spicy with hints of pumpkin. Malty flavor is pumpkin pie with hints of some spiciness and sourness. Good, but I was expecting more based on the overall rating.

Dec 26, 2009 I shared a bottle of this with Beerbaron617 on Christmas Eve. I have to say that the beer is quite tasty, but on the same hand quite gimmicky. It has wonderful color and flavor, lot’s of spice, reminds me of eating pumpkin pie...however, it tastes just too much like pumpkin pie. There are so few hops in this, and well, it’s malty, but I just can’t put my finger on it. It’s just maybe a bit too artificial.

Dec 24, 2009 I had this as part of our traditional family Christmas eve dinner, and split it with my dad. This stuff was AWESOME!! It literally smelled like a pumpkin pie, complete with all the seasonings, and tasted just as good. It didn’t taste a hint artificial, or manufactured, as some "specialty" brews often do. It was perfectly balanced with plenty of pumpkin spice goodness, but at the same time a perfectly crafted beer. Awesome stuff. Cheers!

Dec 20, 2009 Picked up this beer in October, just found it in the back of the fridge. The pour is clear, light orange, little to no bubbles on top for a head. The aroma is pretty much pumpkin. The flavor is dominated by the pumpkin through out. The hops are nice and crisp and the malts are more subtle than the pumpkin. The carbonation is kind-a high. But probably my favorite pumpkin beer to date.

Dec 20, 2009 Really nice pumpkin beer that is very light on the spiciness. A lot of times this style gets a bad rap and deservedly so for all of the spice and crap that gets added. Not so here. Well done on capturing a nice pumpkin flavor with an appropriate amount of spice and sweetness to bring it all together.

Dec 13, 2009 When it comes to pumpkin ales, this is the King. There is only one thing I really need to say about this beer. If you liquified pumpkin pie, this beer is what you would have. Its amazing. Everything about it, love it. So great for the season.

Dec 9, 2009 If any pumpkin beer would get me over the hump on this style, it would be this one, but alas it was not to be. Bright amber color. Rich cooked pumpkin aroma, like a can of pumpkin pie filling. No spice, which was good. Flavor was just a little pumpkin, more graham cracker and light malt. Semi-dry finish, where it could have used a little more residual sweetness.

Dec 6, 2009 22 oz bomber pours dark orange/hazy brown with solid tan head. Aroma is insanely complex: clove, cinnamon, vanilla, molasses and others. Tast is incredibly sweet, with tons of spice carrying through. Not a ton of pumpkin flavor, but ST managed to do something with the body to give it an almost dry-like pie crust feel on the tongue. This is an incredibly unique beer with the ABV hidden well. I wouldn’t say it’s a great "pumpkin" ale per se, but it’s a fantastic spiced beer. Advice: drink in limited quantities.
