on tap at gabf. Smells like a pumpkin pie with buttery graham cracker crust, and tastes like it too! clearly going for the pumpkin pie flavor, this beer includes many pie spices, nice hefty palate, and great malt presence. a true delight.

I hated this last year, but it’s excellent now. Lots and lots of pumpkin flavor, with good spice and hops, and balanced malt. A joy to drink.

On Tap at Rdbones in Somerville,finally my day is here.It stands up pretty well to the other Pumpkin beers of the season,right up there with the Smuttynose version.Amber color.Pumpkin comes through nicely,notover spiced like many.Light hop zip.

2004 draught @ the brewery. Pours a soft orange-yellow, lightly golden, mostly clear with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin pie spice, light brown sugar notes; pumpkin. Flavor begins a bit light and takes a while to really gain steam, but as the beer warms, this helps the malt come forth. Quite spicy, but not too watery and not overly spicy at least. Medium to medium light body, moderately sweet; I’m still spoiled from Empire’s Pumpkin though.

Pours brownish/amber with a creamy white head. Nice pumpkin taste. No spicey taste like other pumpkin ales.Smooth, creamy texture. Pumpkin pie taste. A great pumpkin ale.
