Sep 27, 2008 On tap at Andy’s Corner Bar. Amber/copper color with thin off-white head. Big pumpkin pie spice aroma. Malty profile with spices coming through in the flavor. Palate was full and comforting. A nice big pumpkin ale. A wee bit much for me on the spicing but this is as good a pumpkin spiced ale as I’ve had.

Sep 27, 2008 Many thanks to Blake for picking up one of these for me. I’ve been wanting to try this for awhile after hearing this was tagged as one of the best pumpkin ales out there.
12 ounce bottle. Pours a dark golden hue with a decent head. Typical pumpkin pie spices evident, but not nearly as intense as I was expecting. Flavour is the same, but with a good amount of fusel standing out. The caramel malt always blends well with this style and there’s a bit more than typical. A little green overall. I should’ve had this cellared for a good year to round out the rough edges here. Decent, but there’s easily better pumpkin ales out there.

Sep 27, 2008 Tap @ redlight redlight. Pours a clear pumpkin/amber with a small off-white head. Spicy pumpkin pie on the nose with some buttery malt. In flavor pumpkin pie, strong spice: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, which comes through heavily in the aftertaste. Alcohol is a little evident. Feels a little heavy in the mouth. Some definite real pumpkin here, lots of spices.

Sep 27, 2008 12oz. bottle: This one pours into the glass with a bit of a fizzy, off-white head that goes away almost instantly. It is a fairly clear amber color. This one definitely smells like a pumpkin pie: there is no mistaking it for anything else. The taste is quite good. The cinnamon and other pumpkin pie spices are fight upfront, but not overdone. Some sweetness coming up through the spices. It has a very clean taste, but not light. I like this one!

Sep 26, 2008 Bottle courtesy of StFun. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a one finger creamy off-white head and nice lacing. Nose smells just like a pumpkin pie room deodorizer! Taste is cinnamon, spice, pumpkin and potpourri. A touch of alcohol in the finish. Medium mouth feel. Good pumpkin brew – thanks Josh!

Sep 25, 2008 By fare the best pumpkin I have ever had. And that include southern ties attempt. The pumping flavor seems legitimate, not fake like some. Not to sweet. This is could even pare well with food. I am thinking a good stew or beef burgundy. Or even a good fish fry. Beautiful in the glass. Carbonation is right on. 8% and no trace of alcohol.

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle from puzzl. This poured a very dark amber with a light tan and creamy head. Nose is of pumpkin pie, spices and all. Mouthfeel is rich and creamy, and flavors are pumpkin with cinnamon and cloves. Finish is smooth and there is some nutmeg, rounding out what is a remarkably good fruit beer.

Sep 24, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a thick tan head. Aromas are thick of pie spices and pumpkin... Flavor is like a big slice of heavily spiced pumpkin pie with a caramel malt backdrop. This is pretty darn good for a pumpkin beer. The spices are heavy, though... cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc. The come through fairly strong and it makes for a nice, full-bodied beer.
