Sep 28, 2009 Sampled at Famous Liquors Fall /Oktoberfest Tasting in Lombard, IL. Poured a deep, gold/amber with modest, off white foam and lacing. Besides pumpkin, the nose high lighted some sweetness, a touch of caramel, and pie spices, notably nutmeg. The flavor followed with light malt and comingled pie spices. Subtle notes throughout but enjoyable.

Sep 27, 2009 The pour is a clear orange/red, white head. The aroma is fruit, pumpkin, brown sugar. the flavor is mainly pumpkin, with brown sugar, light chocolate flavor, some hops. The finish is a nice piney hop residue. The mouthfeel is on the thin side of medium. Pretty nicely done.

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle and draft. Slightly better on tap. Pours pumpkin-orange. Smell is fruity, pumpkin-y, yeasty. Nice lacing. The taste is good because it’s not overwhelming pumpkin. Subtle pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar (I typed this in here and then read the description...looks like I was right). Warms as it goes down. This is quite good....not overpowering on the pumpkin, but enough pumpkin to remind you that you’re drinking a pumpkin ale.

does not count  Sep 27, 2009 I’m not a big fan of pumpkin flavored beers but DFH Punk is a really fantastic spiced brown ale. I really love all DFH beers. I just wish they’d make all there beers available in six packs.

Sep 27, 2009 Draft. Pours a rusty orange with a modest frothy head. Tastes of pumpkin(obviously), cinnamon and sweet malts. The pumpkin isn’t overdone in this beer. Very well balanced.

Sep 26, 2009 The thing that really sets this one off from the others is the nutmeg. It gives that extra touch that takes it over the edge. Although with the high ABV...it sort of kills the flavor a little.

Sep 26, 2009 Aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon and allspice, very sugary nose. Medium bodied flavors of holiday spice and brown sugar and caramel malts. this works as a Christmas Beer or an Autumnal Beer.
ksurkin (356), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
Sep 25, 2009 12oz bottle from total wine in norfolk. pours a clear, light gold with a short white head a solid lacing. aroma is nice with sweet pumpkin and spicy cinnamon, nutmeg, and mild cloves with a touch of toasty malts. flavor is quite good as well with citrus and pumpkin notes up front with an odd hint of grain mustard backed by spice notes of cinnamon, clove, and and smooth nutmeg leaving a crisp, spiced finish. palate is medium bodied, nicely carbonated, and not overly sweet. overall, a well done pumpkin ale.
