lebshiff21 (85), Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 13, 2008 Not very much pumpkin, more like pumpkin pie spice. Seems like brown ale with an afterthought. Very drinkable and pleasant on a fall day. EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Oct 12, 2008 Clear orange brown pour with a thin white head. Malt aroma with hints of pumpkin and spice - cinnamon nutmeg, etc. Bitter clove flavor. A bit watery with hints of banana, spice, and smoke. Alcohol to finish. Flavors are generally pretty weak and overall its a pretty bland beer. Doon (89), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Oct 12, 2008 On Tap at Delux burger in PHX. Served in a pilsner glass :( Not quite what I was expecting. I’ve had several good pumpkin ales, and several REALLY bad ones...this one is middle of the road. Pours a dark amber color, no head on my beer....the spice flavor was somewhat overpowered by the alcohol. Very light on the pumpkin flavor. Maybe it was a bad keg, or maybe I was drunk.... j12601 (1149), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Oct 11, 2008 A crystal clear orange with a 1.5 inch head that quickly reduced to half a inch, and then to nothing after the first sip. Less spice on the nose than I was expecting, but still faint hints of pumpkin pie spices. The spices come through a bit more on the finish along with a bit of the brown sugar. Body is rich and silky with lots of very fine carbonation. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 draft at city beer. dull amber pour w some beige head. aroma is pumpkin, spice and sweet bubblegum. flavor is the same, a little vegetal. sort of a lot of carbonation. esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Oct 11, 2008 Hazy orange-amber with a thin white head. Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar. Taste of brown sugar, nutmeg, allspice, nuts and pumpkin. Finishes spicy with some allspice in there. One of the better pumpkin beers I’ve tried, reminiscent of pumpkin more than most others. m4rest88 (216), Beverly Hills, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 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. gringo332 (236), Richardson, Texas, USA Oct 11, 2008 My first impression was "Wow". It has more spice than I was expecting after having other Pumpkin ales. Beautiful color, short head. Tastes of pumpkin and brown sugar.
