On tap,flight sample:Soapy aroma soapy taste,something very off in this.Light bodied,strange flavor abnormal from pumpkins.One of the worst pumpkins ive had. Tastes like its dryhopped with mold then dish detergent thrown on it. Maybe its just artificial pumpkin flavor.

On tap at the brew pub. (2008) I enjoyed this because it was light and not overspiced like some pumpkin seasonals.

tap. totally unimpressed. orange-brown in color with very little sudsy head. I could smell the spice somewhat, ginger and pumpkin being the most recognizable. very thin and watery. honestly tasted like watered-down pumpkin pie. I would pass on this for a seasonal ale.

on tap at the brewpub. sweet aroma of pumpkin spices, cinnamon and maybe some ginger. flavor is much the same, but this beer is thinner than water! if it’d had some body, it would make for a nice seasonal brew, but its just too thin.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear golden-orange color that didn’t really draw me in. Head was paper thin and white, but did last longer than average. It didn’t leave any lace on the glass, however. Aroma was not overwhelming with notes of cinnamon doughnut and light pumpkin pie. Dry on the tongue with strong flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg accented by a touch of root beer. There was also a fleeting malty cereal grain aftertaste. So so.

I’m assuming this is the correct brew,.Light amber color,no head to speak of.The aroma is mild and weak with maybe a hint of pumpkin some light spice and a light malty side.The flavor came much the same as the aroma,light malt some faint hints of spice and little more then that.Over all a pretty weak example for the season.

Hazy orange-brown with a small, light brown head. Lots of spices in the nose: ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, accompanied by green herbs. Mildly sweet, lightly bitter flavor. Herbally green squashiness comes one quite nicely in the finish. Rather highly carbonated. One of the better pumpkin beers I’ve had.
