Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. This is one of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had. The fresh one I had was good, but this beer doesn’t age well. I got some more on special, and it was forgettable. Nice nutmeg, cinnamon, and spice.

A pretty good pumpkin ale as far as they go. Decent taste, and spices and a smoky finish to it all. Overall smooth going down.

Pours a reddish orange color with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is spicy, with notes of allspice and cinnamon. Flavor is similar although its worth noting that the pumpkin flavor is really muted. Not bad, but not as "pumpkiny" as I was expecting. Nice and smooth drinking. Not bad, but not something that I’d want on a regular basis.

Bottle from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. Poured an orange color with a large white head. Smelled of pumpkin and fall spices. A little too much nutmeg for me and needed a little more hops to balance the sweetness. Overall a well made beer.

Pours a ruby orange hue, white sudsy head dissipates to a ring, great clarity. Nose is dominated by spices (nutmeg and brown sugar), tones of pumpkin and bready malts. Taste is spice-forward with allspice and ginger hitting first, followed by cinnamon and brown sugar, the pumpkin is really in the background but consistent, some bready and nutty malts near the bitter finish. Medium-full bodied, moderate-high carbonation, oily texture coats the tongue. Overall a beer more spiced than pumpkin, good for the fall season.

On tap at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Not a big fan of pumpkin flavored ales, but this is the most tolerable of them that I’ve had. Pours a nie golden orange, medium white head. Smells of cinnamon spice and nutmeg. Taste a nice subtle pumpkin style flavor. Overall, a nice mild, good tasting pumpkin ale.
