Draft @ Coles Buffalo NY. Pretty good pumkin beer. Aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar. taste is pumpkin, brown sugar & spices. Pumpkin & spices compliment & dont dominate as in some pumpkin beers. Nice beer

Pours orange amber color like that of a pumpkin. The smell is of Mexican pumpkin candy,light cinnamon, the pumpkin taste is mild and not sweet. The roasted pumpkin flavor quickly fades but does finish with a mild spice. This isn’t my favorite beer, but one of the better pumpkin ales i’ve tried.

Nice aroma, earthy, pumpkin, brown sugar. Nice flavor up front, spicy vegetal taste, just the right amount of pumpkin. Sweet, brown sugar. Cinnamon. A bit thin on the finish, body is a little weak. Could use some more fullness on the mouthfeel, a bit overcarbonated, as some have noted. Slight presence of alcohol. Actually a little boozy after a while. Finish while weak on flavor is bitter.

Poured orangish color with white head. Aroma is spiced with cinnamon, numer, and pumpkin. Malts and hops come through a little too. Flavor is sweet and I do agree with 1 2many, it is a tad over carbonated. A good seasonal ale, but not the best fall one out ther.

Alefest sample. Orangish amber with a small white head. Aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin. Flavor is a spicy sweetness but this is more carbonated than I would like. Pretty good but there are much better pumpkin ales out there.
