A- Clear orange color with a small white fizzy head. S- Smells spicy, perfumey and pumpkiny. T- Tastes slightly of pumpkin and spices with alcohol apparent. A bit to aritifical for my tastes. M- Thick with a medium amount of carbonation. D- I feel done after only a few sips. Not a drinkable brew by any means but not hard to get down.

2007 vintage discovered hidden behind condiments in fridge. Pours a cloudy spice filled brown with a small white head. Aroma of spices, pumpkin, and a little maltiness. Flavor is pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, cloves. One of the better pumpkin beers out there.

Served cold from bottle. Pours translucent amber with a white head that leaves a good amount of lacing. The aroma is rich with pumpkins and spices. The flavor is malty with sweetness and pumpkins. Very easy to drink and crisp. I really like this one.

Clear amber with a tan head. Nice pumpkin pie spice aroma. Smooth, medium body. Good malty crusty grain flavors with lightly sweet pumpkin spices. Liquid pumpkin pie here. 11067

Amazing Punkin brew. Easily my favorite on the market. It is sweet but not oversweet and pumpkin tastes very natural and happy. mouthfeel is coating and sticking. Great seasonal brew

Bottle which is about 6 months old: I let this age hoping it would mellow. Aroma: pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. Orange-ish color, with a one finger head that faded quickly. Flavor is pumpkin, cinnamon but nutmeg is the dominant flavor. Medium texture. Light carbonation. It’s good and now that it has aged a little bit, I think it has become more mellow/smooth. In other times the nutmeg was to dominant. This is one of the better pumpkin beers out there. During the fall, I always look forward to drinking this beer by a fire outside! Cant wait till next fall! Good beer!

Pours with an off-white head with some lacing. Orange body. Aroma of nutmeg, sugar, cinnamon, pumpkin, malt and clove. Taste is a liquid, liquor version of pumpkin (punkin?) pie. Not as full bodied as it sounds, as it even tastes good on this hot (83*F) Texas day. Watery mouthfeel and light carbonation. 2007 (with 6 months of age on it) seemed far better than 2008. Much more body and sweet character. 2008 is a bit astringent on the allspice and a bit thin too boot.
