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.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine and More in Tampa. Aroma of pumpkin pie, cinnamon, and other spices. Color is orange-brown, light head that doesn’t go away until you take a sip. Tons of flavor, Pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg...spices out the ass. Nice warm feeling on the palate...left a different feel in my mouth. Overall...I love it...Could be because I love most DFH beers...or that I love anything that tastes like pumpkin...But this is a fantastic beer...A new favorite. They should sell it year-round.

Toasted Pumpkin seed and nutmeg nose. Goldish amber, small head. Clovey sweet at first, seemed a little too bitter and boozy. Thin body, medium carbonation, finish was a little harsh and hot. A subtle pumkin ale that had good bones (no Halloween pun intended), but the high alcohol hurts it a bit, slightly less alcohol may enhance the flavors.

Pours with an amber hue that sits below a white frothy head. Hue is clear. The aroma is of cinammon, pumpkin and lots of different spices. The flavor is spicy all the way through (allspice). Also the beer has a weird green tea flavor to it - dont know what this is. Light body, light carbonation. Not a bad beer, but just not my style.

Pours a dark amber, "autumny" type color making it rather attractive in the glass. A very thin head forms and there is little lacing on the glass. The arome is also rather thin, not providing much other than hints of spices and pumpkin The spices are very noticeable in the flavor of this beer. The pumpkin is not so noticeable, just rather spicey.

Bottle. Amber pour with a thin off white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of nutmeg, other spices and (surprise) pumpkin. Taste of malt and pumpkin with alcohol present.
