Sep 13, 2008 Bottle from the Winking Lizard. I think this was my first Pumpkin Beer. Pour was a pretty golden orange color. The smell was rather funky. Almost like soured apples. Flavor was a lot of things but where was the pumpkin?? I detected a bit of cinnamon and apples. I wasnt real impressed...

does not count  Sep 12, 2008 I was really hoping that the pumpkin flavor would be more up front. Still a good autumn time beer but I was expecting more from DFH.

Sep 12, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours an amber gold color with a small white head. Aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon & clove. Taste is pretty much the same. Very little pumpkin flavor. Palate is spicey and dry.

Sep 12, 2008 Draft @ Capones: Poured an orange color with medium head. The aroma was cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. The flavor was a tad thick, spicy and reminded me more of a christmas beer than a pumkin beer. Overall, very tasty.

does not count Sep 11, 2008 Aroma is really nice, lures you in, really smell the pumpkin/spice. Dark, rich orange/brown base, lighter medium thickmess head. Bitter taste, nutty aftertaste. Goes down smooth, fairly thick.

Sep 10, 2008 Pours clear copper with a medium off-white head. Aroma was dominated by allspice and nutmeg and was decidedly non-pumpkiny. Flavor was spicy and malty. The spice flavor, however, is powdery and dry rather than integrated into the overall taste. I wish it had more of a pumpkin base, but it’s really more about the spice profile. Body could be a little bolder, but it’s otherwise okay. Still searching for a pumpkin seasonal that fits my ideal for the style...

Sep 10, 2008 Alright so I had to even criticize this one because it really smells and tastes great. Pours a dark coppery color with no haze whatsoever. It smells and tastes just like a pumpkin pie and is delicious--no doubt about it. HOWEVER, I really wish that the thing would have a heavier body. It felt pretty thin in the mouth and going down, and I really like a holiday/spiced ale that you’ve gotta chew on. If they could do this without jeopardizing any other features of the brew, it would be perfect. Delicious nonetheless though and I’ll definitely have it again!
