Sep 29, 2009 Orange to amber color. Thin creamy head. The spice aroma of cloves and cinnamon overwhelm any other characteristics. The spice flavor is too much for me. Not enough malt flavor and not as full bodies as I would expect. It is missing something - sweetness? Not bad, just expected more.

Sep 29, 2009 Week olf rating. A very pumpkin-y ale. Tasted like pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices. This may be the best pumpkin beer ever, but I realize I’m not a fan of pumpkin beers.

Sep 28, 2009 12oz - Nice gold color, light tan head of sufficient size. Small bubbles. Nutmeg is predominant on nose. The malt plays off the cinnamon, then the nutmeg returns. A nice diversion. Normally I see seasonals as hokey, but this one really stands out.

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.

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.
