2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewery 10/24/10. Pours a brown with not much of a head. Smells of unspiced pumpkin, greens, and malt. Flavor is a funky malt, some bitter vegetable material (I’d assume pumpkin), and that’s about it. Not a great pumpkin ale.

Growler from the brewery, filled 10/16/10 and opened 10/19/10. Pours a clear reddish amber color with a medium brown head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma of pumpkin, dry malty notes and a faint cinnamon spice. The taste is caramel, toasted malts, pumpkin and a cinnamon spice finish. Medium bodied. Decent beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a growler thaks to Dave. Aroma-some subtle malt and pumpkin but overall a clean aroma. Appearance- Clear orange amber with a generous long lasting head. Taste-Subtle pumpkin flavor that is not over powering like too many pumpkin ale but just enough to give it character. Clean bitter finish. Overall a nice pumpkin ale that I could easily drink more than one of, unlike others in this style.
