one of my favorite pumpkin beers, however the pumpkin is hiden by the other spices in the beer which I prefer, also it’s not overly carbonated. Good seasonal beer but can’t drink it all night.

Pours a deep amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma is full of autumn spices (nutmeg and cinnamon). Not much pumpkin flavor and the spices are too strong. My friend and I brewed this same recipe, but as a porter instead of an ale, and I liked it much better.

Poured a clear copper amber color with a nice creamy light tan head. The head went down slowly to about 1/2 inch and left some decent lacing. The aroma was very nice with hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and gingerbread. The aromas were stronger than the flavors. The taste was slightly dry and a bit spicy. The mild flavor of cloves and the aroma spices were detected with a bit of a sweetness. A nice pumpkin beer, easy to drink.

12oz bottle. pours a clear orange amber with a quickly diminishing head, aromas...wow..pretty much what the label describes.. cinnamn, nutmeg, punkin, and brown sugar. Flavors arent quite as refined but still nice, mostly pumpkin and cinnamon and nutmeg. long lasting finish.... pumpkin pie in a bottle!

Aroma is spicy; nutmeg, pumpkin, cloves, and . . . yellow mustard? Strange, but not bad really. Pours a clear, light copper color with a white head the diminishes quickly. Taste is sweet and spicy with cinnamon, cloves and pumpkin. Little bitternes. Smooth mouthfeel and very enjoyable, very drinkable. Probably my favorite pumpkin ale.

Splendida ale alla zucca (!) bevuta allo stand americano del Salone del Gusto; preferisco una birra meno sborona della solita super hop ipa amarillo brillo e ben concentrata su una piacevolezza che non trascura la zupposità di cui un uomo può sentire il bisogno quando ha un sogno.

Pumpkin pie in a bottle. Subtle aroma of pumpkin and spices. A little sweet, but offset somewhat with some bitterness. Not too bad, better than other pumpkin beers I’ve tried.
