Not much exciting here guys .... I’d bet it would be decent to cook with though. Different ... the spices come though, kinda zingy .....

Clear dark orangish color. Tastes like liquid pumpkin pie. Almost zero carbonation. No detectable alcohol. Watery. Dissapointing.

Ugh - a cacophony of extreme flavors, none of which should be in beer - completely over the top clovey/nutmeg flavor followed by pumpkin and then a fizzy carbon dioxide flavor - the artwork is top notch but nothing else

The bottle said it was the original pumpkin ale, and it tasted like an ale made 200 years ago. Maybe I got a bad bottle, but this beer just tasted bad. Not a whole lot of good going on here.

I love pumpkin, so when I buy a beer that says "Pumpkin" on it, I expect to be able to taste it! This is not the case with this beer. VERY little spice or pumpkin flavor and overall just not a great tasting beer. Would not try again.

Gross. Loaded with pumpkin pie spice - overdone and doesn’t work in beer. The pumpkin flavor is fine but leave the spices out. Chemically as well - probably due to the spice interactions with the malt. Otherwise very nice orange-copper color.

Too much pumpkin pie spice killed this potentially good brew. I had New Holland’s Ichabod the same night and it was tremendously better than this.

WOW!! first pumpkin beer I have had.
Aroma jumps right out at you with cinnamon and cloves and I can see those little red hot candies that I used to get as a kid!!
Bottle poured a cloudy gold with a small head and good lacing.
This is a cool beer to get once in a while for friends to try but I dont think I would be getting it very often,, not bad, but WOW!

I have to disagree that the taste wasn’t overwhelming with pumpkin. I could anticipate the pumpkin from the aroma and it was very strong on my opinion. I did not like this beer because the pumpkin was too strong.
