Sep 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear copper with an off-white head. The aroma isn’t the big blast of pumpkin pie that I expected, but it is there. Creamy medium body and active carbonation.Toffee and pumpkin pie taste. Dry cinnamon and nutmeg finish. I don’t know why I keep buying pumpkin beer - it never gets beyond ordinary in taste.

Sep 21, 2008 Amber brown with consistent visible carbonation and a small eggshell head that, even though small, lasts a good while. Aroma is nicely balanced with some faint nutmeg and other spices. Flavor is full of peppery spices along with caramel and floral hop. Cinnamon can be tasted as the beer warmed as can alcohol. Feel is creamy and smooth but a bit lifeless. A very late bitter aftertaste. A nice Fall seasonal beer.

Sep 21, 2008 Pours light orangish yellow with a thin white head. Smells like a runny malt beverage with some cinnamon and some cream. Tastes like punkin’ pie, straight up. Mouthfeel is medium yet runny with a stunning but well hidden alcohl presence. Surprise,, it is a shark brew afterall. Taste has some overwhelming creamy cinnamon spice notes as well. This is the best shot for your girl after she’s had the Michelob ultra lime and cacti at Christmas. A delicious desert brew for the fall season.

Sep 21, 2008 Had high hopes of finding a Pumpkin beer that wasn’t thin and bland tasting. This one isn’t much better than the low end pumpkin beers. I was hoping for a bit of a sweeter/stronger brew to help balance out the spices that are very present in this beer. Not a winner from dogfish head.

Sep 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to zathrus13, who sent this beer via footbalm. Thanks man. Pours a clear copper color with a medium white bubbly head. The aroma is full of sweet pumpkin notes, some spices, and a bit of malts. Interestingly, tha flavor has a large hop profile along with pumpkin and loads of spices. The finish is mostly bitter with a somewhat off-putting alcohol bite. Not bad at all. An interesting take on the style.

Sep 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Dark brown pour... aroma of pumpkin pie, semi-spicy. Taste is a blend of spices - nutmeg, some cinammon with pumpkin undertones. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Good Pumpkin ale.

Sep 20, 2008 Pours light copper orange with a small white head. Nose is lightly pumpkin, with nutmeg and cinnamon. Taste is similar with some additional spice and sweetness, though not overly so (like some other pumpkin beers). Overall, a nice seasonal offering from DFH.
