Growler thanks to ericandersnavy. Pour a murky deep amber red with a little white head. Aroma was very apparent when bottle was opened, nice pumpkin, nutmeg cinnamon, malt. Flavor is very much the same with nice sweetness and spiciness. Mouthfeel is medium-heavy body with low carbonation. Overall, a great, spicy pumpkin brew, very tasty!!!!!

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with paperthin white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is spice, pumpkin, and cinnamon. Medium mouthfeel with nutmeg, spice, clove, and cinnamon flavors with nice spicy finish. hides alcohol well, a very good pumpkin ale from Cigar City.

Mmmm, love this stuff. Spicy, malty, mature aroma. Smells like gingerbread! Highly refined for a pumpkin beer. Smooth, crisp, spicy, mildly sweet for a bit, pumpkin flesh. One of the very best pumpkin beers out there.

Cloudy brown with a short, off-white head. Aroma is clove, cinnamon, pumpkin, bread, Very sweet and natural pumpkin and crust flavour. Light, despite the rich essence....chilled pumpkin pie with cool-whip topping... Not very beery....but damn tasty....one of the finest Pumpkin Ales I’ve ever tasted.

Amazing! Gives an aroma of spice and cinnamon. Nutmeg and corriander are the first thing that I taste. A little vegetable at the end.

queenholly (1851) - South Whitley, Indiana, USA - FEB 27, 2013
Bottle courtesy of changeup45. Strong nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin/ banana aroma. Smells almost identical to banana nut bread. Hazy amber with a small ivory head. Pumpkin malt and lots of cinnamon and clove flavor. Medium to full body, soft carbonation. The spice in this one overpowers the pumpkin.

Sevenlee (884) - Central Coast, NSW, AUSTRALIA - FEB 26, 2013
Bottle at fletchfighters tasting. Thanks guys! Pours a hazy orange colour with an off-white head. Aroma is malty with pumpkin and spices. Taste is medium sweet and spicy leading to a mild bitter and spicy finish. Not usually a fan of pumpkin beers but this one is pretty good.

750ml bottle, shared with Callipalegic. Hazy red / orange color. Minimal off-white head. Few loose dots of lace. Good pumpkin pie and spice nose. Bigger body. Light, crisp carbonation. Good light bitter, spice taste. Just a little bite. Unique pumpkin aroma - a bit of a thicker body, more big pumpkin flavor makes this a pretty tasty treat, especially in January, outside of the thick of the craze of the pumpkin season. I think the mouthfeel could use some work, though. Would probably be very nice if barrel-aged

My bottle [750ml] shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow, jerc & mabel. Pours a deep orange-peach with a massive long-lasting rocky beige head. Nice aroma of pumpkin along with some spices, fruit, yeast and malt. Flavour is malty with a good amount of pumpkin, spices, some cream abd a touch of sweetness. Medium bodied. Bottle was a bit old (it was a gusher) but it was still quite good.
