RnH: ’Tis the season and I’m drinking loads of pumpkin ales... however this one dissapoints. Very watery and thin, very small amount of spice, next to no taste of pumpkin. Carbonation was too high washing away whatever taste was available. Maybe I got a bad batch but in my opinion this beer is highly overrated.

Not as strong as other pumpkin beers. Nutmeg and clove flavors. Sweet flavors, but was expecting a bit more from Dogfish Head.

Clear orange pour. Spice, nutmeg, pumpkin pie, syrup, and a bit of vanilla. I enjoyed it.

Pours an orangy copper color with a smll white head. Nose is strong on holiday pie spices. Taste is a little syrupy, but not in a bad way, karo syrup, generic pie spices, nuts, and hint of vanilla make it a very decent "pumpkin" beer, and one of the better DFH beers i’ve bought.

Amber in color with an off white head that tried to make every effort to stick around. Minuscule lace. Dogfish known for hops managed to allow a slight hop showing mixed in with the pumpkin and spice flavors. Light medium mouthfeel with a dry finish that does linger slightly. Easy drinking and at 7% alcohol you will stay cozy on autumn evenings.

bottle. This one is drowned by a ton of Nutmeg from beginning to the dry finish end. Not my cup of pumpkin.

A nice surprize. I have had other pumkin beers where all you can taste is the pumkin and it was not pleasent. This beer the pumkin is balanced with spices, nutmeg and cinnamon, to make it enjoyable. Dink one by the outside fire place on a crisp fall night
