Sep 28, 2008 What can I say? Dogfish head comes through again. Has a small pumpkin flavor blended nicely with hops. Not much of an aftertaste which is always pleasant. I’m starting to become a fan of this brewery.

Sep 28, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice clear amber color with a big frothy head. Aroma of mulitple spices, pumpkin and hops. Taste of all spice, nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin. Flavor is nicely balanced. Has a semi sweet, lighty astringent finish. Nice pumpkin ale.

Sep 27, 2008 Bottle. Slightly hazy orange/copper color. Texture is medium-to-full. Smells of vanilla, but the taste is less sweet. Spices (allspice, nutmeg) and rum. Not really like pumpkin, but still a lot going on. Finishes fairly dry.

Sep 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma has the nutmeg, cinnamon, and all spice with lighter notes of pumpkin ad malt. The flavor is again more heavily dominated by the spices and malt. It has a bready maltiness as if the crust is a bigger deal than the pumpkin. The pumpkin is lighter, but present. This is more drinkable than some other "pumpkin" beers, but does not have anything that is over the top or causes it to stand out.

Sep 26, 2008 A fine and small lasting white head crowns this orange-amber beer. Nutmeg- and allspice-like aromas dominate the nose along with a bit of cinnamon. Medium sweetness of toffee in the flavour. Medium-lite body so the alcohol must come from sugar. Certainly more like pumpkin pie than pumpkin.

Sep 26, 2008 12 oz. Nice orange hue on the pour. The usual spices and cloves but nothing overpowering on the nose. Fuller bodied and nothing thin about it with a nice malt to blend in with the spices. One of the better pumpkins on the market.
AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA
Sep 25, 2008 Pours attractive clear orange amber with a thin off white head. Nose is spice, clove, nutmeg, as is the flavor, with the addition of a hefty dose of caramel malt. Spicy finish.

Sep 25, 2008 Updated: Feb 5, 2009Pours orange with a white head. Aroma started off as a spicy pumpkin pie flavor, but gradually turned into just bitter alcohol. Taste was like eating a fatass slice of sugary pumpkin pie, but the more of the beer you drank the more the alcohol came out. By the end, it was all alcohol. That’s where this beer went wrong, too much alcohol. It really took away from the enjoyment.
