12 oz bottle. Spicy aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Pours amber clear with a small, short head. Decent palate and a natural flavor to it. Overall average brew.

12 oz bottle...pours clear amber tinted light brown w/ a cram colored fizzy head that quickly diminishes. Aroma of the typical spices ...nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice, mixed with some baked pumpkin . Tha flavors are the same with some lingering sweetness and a touch of caramel. The palate is medium, with lively carbonation and a oily, lasting sweet finish. Very tasty!

Well made Pumpkin ale. I love pumpkin pie, and this smells just like it. Well integrated into the flavor, with no weird allspice aftertaste I get with most of this style....very natural tasting.

Pours a clear brown color with a fizzy white head that dissapates to small ring. Nose of fruits, brown sugar, nutmeg, mix of spices. Initial taste of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin. MId palate to finish good hop balance. Palate duration is above average. Flavor is average. Mouthfeel is agressively active bubbles. Overall interesting.

On TAP at DFH. This is perhaps the best Pumpkin ale on the market in the United States due to the actual pumpkin flavor that exists in the beer. You know, just putting pumpkin pie spices in an ale does not constitute a pumpkin beer. Nevertheless this beer pours on tap with a soapy head, which then dissipates to a thin layer. The spices are prevalent in the nose and flavor. The beer has a degree of stickiness that make you think of your favorite pumpkin desserts. Yum.

Creamy, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, but nothing too crazy. I hate pumpkin beers, but this one was pretty darn good.

This may be the only pumpkin ale that I can remember that actually has a taste of pumpkin in it. The pumpkin flavor has a nice, spicy cinnamon flavor, also.
