Bottle from 3 Sons. Nice odor of spices, amber color, nice head and lacing. Spices linger after initial carbonation and mild malt flavors.

Clear pour with little head. A little more spice than last year’s, but it’s still the only pumpkin ale I like. A little thin on the mouth feel, but still an outstanding beer. I’m a sucker for DFH brews.

Decent brew, but pales in comparison to the "King". Spicy pumpkin aroma, pours orange with creamy off-white head. decent flavor to this one, a little bit of spice, but nothing overwhelming.

bottled 8/2/7 from machfive55... pours a clear rich copper with an almond cream colored head. smells somewhat like pumpkin pie or at least the spices which traditionally go into one... pumpkin comes off as earthy malty sweetness, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, clove and a little doughiness. flavor is similar but not nearly as prominent or robust. i can’t really pick out pumpkin but an earthy sweetness is there in the background?... spiced finish. medium to full body. super creamy texture like cool whip...

Pours clear amber with off white head. Strong aromas of allspice, cinnamon and nutmeg. Similar flavors, not much pumpkin, but a good pumpkin beer. Medium body with average carbonation.

Bottle, snifter. Aromas of cinnamon and nutmeg. The cinnamon comes off very much like bubblegum. Pours a clear amber-orange with a finger’s worth of off-white head. A film of tiny bubbles coats the glass with every sip. Flavors begin with bubblegum, turning to sweet-tangy malts (brown sugar, orange juice), and finishing again with spicyness. The nutmeg plays more of a role in the finish. If there’s any pumpkin here, it’s an only-sometimes perceptible earthiness to the finish.

One of those beers that I wait for. I like the fact that the "pumpkin" flavor dose not overwhelm. I find the beer very balanced and drinkable.
