Jul 5, 2008 12oz bottle from Immy - thanks, Tim! The ratings on this one are a bit unfair, I think, as this is as solid a pumpkin brew as many others with better scores. Pours and looks much like any ol’ amber ale, but it’s got a richly spiced nose with some hints of pumpkin flavoring. It’s closer to the DFH offering than the insanity that is Southern Tier, and it does just fine alongside others in its class.

Jul 5, 2008 I really enjoyed this beer. Nice balance of pumpkin and spice. Great for when the weather gets colder. I can drink a couple, but not an everyday or all night brew.

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a cloudy amber with zero head. Nose it nutmeg, pumpkin and spice. Palate is much the same with a slightly sour finish. Light mouth feel. Better than the other pumpkin beer I’ve had, but not that great.

Jun 3, 2008 Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Aroma has more cinnamon, clove, and spices then the beer itself. These flavors diminish quickly leaving some
a sour flavor but not a good one. Pick up Sarnac instead.

May 12, 2008 Pours an orange/copper color with thin head. Very aromatic with dusty, earthy notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumkin spice. Medium bodied with desent carbonation. Very pungent taste, with suggestions of pumpkin pie/bread with a heavy hand of nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon. Long, lingering taste of clove, nutmeg, and, of course, pumpkin. Taste was a bit unbalanced, the spice notes drowned everything else out a bit too much. Try with pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, or spiced christmas pudding.
