Ok so I just gotta say that i feel punkins have no business being in beer. I dont like it, at all. Yet every year i get this beer, its tradition. I dont like it, its very punkiny and the spices dominate. Its actually got a good strong flavor and its the only beer of the kind i would ever recomend, but spice beer is something I will never be fond of.

12 oz bottle, pours an orange-amber color with little head. Aroma is very fresh and the cinnamon spices are very evident with hints of fruit and some spearmint. Taste is sweet and bitter with noticeable alcohol content. Aftertaste is a little more bitter but very smooth on the palate. Overall very impressive brew- well suited for a fall day.

Pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Lots of carbonation. Aroma is of fresh baked pumpkin pie, carrots and bananna. Taste is sweet, not overly rich and pleasent all the way through.

On tap at Dogfish Alehouse in Falls Church, VA. Pours with a small head, off-white, and brown/orange in color. Aromas of maple syrup, pumpkin, various spices, and nutmeg. Body was rather full with a creamy texture and lively taste. Overall a strong autumn beer and one that I will be purchasing for many times to come.

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...

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.

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.
