Pour out of 22 oz bottle, thanks to Aaron for the pour! Dark orange red pour with thin white head, aroma brought notes of pumpkin, slight spice, touch of oak, slight earth, caramel, vanilla. Taste is a mix of pumpkin, earth, caramel, some nice toast, hints of earth, vanilla, finishing fairly spicy, slightly dry. This is fairly enjoyable.

Bottle @ home during my #5,000 tick fest, picked up at Wilburs Foco. Pours a bit hazy, dark reddish orange appearance with a cream colored head. Pretty spicy, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, light caramel nose. Pretty rich, cinnamon, mild caramel, toasted pumpkin, vanilla, rich nutmeg flavor. Pretty tasty.

Bomber poured a hazy orange amber with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, cinnamon, allspice, clove and light pumpkin. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, cinnamon, clove, allspice and light pumpkin with a smooth lingering spiced finish.

Bottle. Dark body and creamy head with nice lace. Spicy aroma of allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, malts, and maybe some pumpkin. Creamy mouthfeel, medium body. Spicy flavor with allspice, nutmeg in the front, some pumpkin. Fairly balanced but more malty, a little heavily spiced. Nice pumpkin overall but way overpriced.

Bright Orange 750 ml Bottle. Pours a hazy dark orange and amber color with a cap of tan foam. The nose is mostly toasted pumpkin, nutmeg, cardamom and graham cracker. The flavor begins heavy on the dessert spices with plenty of clove, cinnamon and ginger before the pumpkin and brown sugar kick in. Toward the end there’s some toasted bready malt notes. Mouthfeel is mildly creamy with medium-level carbonation and more nutmeg and clove in the finish. Overall, a respectable Pumpkin Ale with good balance between the pumpkin, malt and spices.

Draft @ Naja’s Place, Redondo Beach, CA. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small off-white head. Has a fruity malty spicy pumpkin aroma. Malty spicy strong pumpkin flavor with hints of cinnamon. Has a fruity malty spicy pumpkin and cinnamon finish.

The pour is a slightly hazed burnt orange color with a white head. Strong spice aroma, as expected. Heavy on the nutmeg, cinnamon, and all spice notes. Sweet bread malt with a bit of toffee and biscuit. The flavor is dominated by the spices. A touch of vanilla to go along with the nutmeg and all spice. A nice malty sweetness and good body to go with it. I quite enjoyed this.

A huge fan of Rogue beers. But after having many pumpkin beers this one just didn’t have enough pumpkin flavor.

review from sinter of 2011 - figured since I just opened the Good Chit Pil it would be a great time to add another old review in. Eyeballs: medium brown with some orange hues, decent tan head of thickness, lacing was ropy. Nostrils: pretty large flavour - no subtleness here - ginger, cloves pie with a squash relative stuffed in it, nutmeg and a bit of bread. Stayed strong throughout. Eat hole: the flavour comes across weaker than the smell but that’s ok. Caramel and meaty pumpkin, nutty and just a small amount of those strong spices from the aroma. Smooth with good carbonation. Tricked again into a pumpkin beer purchase.

Don’t recal where I purchased a single bottle from but it was sometime in 12/2011. Colour: Kind of a nutty brown with white low head. Nose: The pumpkin seems inter-twined with an assortment of spices....cinnamon, mint, cumin. The malt is very nutbread-ish. Traces of honey and wax. Taste: Medium-light sweet, medium-light bitter, light sour. A bit restrained....pumpkin, white bread, gentle roast...but very quiet and not as bursting with freshness as I would have expected. Waxy mouthfeel.
