[Tap] Sampled at Southern Plains Craft Beer Festival on 10/15. Pours a light orange color with a fizzy white head. Distinct aroma of ginger and nutmeg. Lesser amounts of pumpkin are detected. The taste is similar and is quite ginger-forward. Mild sweet roll, biscuit, clove, subtle pumpkin round out the flavor profile. The body is a tad light for the style, but better than most of the offerings from this brewery. Nice.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a burnt orange amber hue with a white head. Nice lacing. Great smell of cloves, ginger. Rich, full bodied mouthfeel. Taste is of pumpkin spices with a yeasty, grainy malt flavor to finish off this most tasty brew. One of brewerys better offerings, very good. Oct 2004

Draft at the brewpub: poured light clear orange with zero head. Moderate ginger and pumpkin in the aroma. Pumpkin and ginger in the flavor. I think this is the first pumpkin ale I have had where I can actually taste pumpkin. Decent body. Good beer.

Draft at the brewpub, 11/15/06: Thin white head over a light-bright orange beer. Nice full-spicey aroma. Not as broad in the flavor, but still there ... pumpkin and a hint of cinammon. Thin. Ok.
