Gives the pumpkin pie in a bottle flavor. Not met anyone who can beat this.

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.

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.
