Mar 22, 2008 had it on tap at frisco grille in columbia, md. amazing. best pumpkin beer out there. actually tastes like pumpkin, unlike other "pumpkin" beers that just taste like pumpkin pie spice, but seem to lack the pumpkin itself all together. cinnamon and cloves were well balanced. tastes like pumpkin pie. alcohol is present in the flavor but well balanced. very satisfying would definitely have again. probably my favorite dogfish head beer.

Mar 20, 2008 smells spicy and tastes spicy, perhaps some molasses as well. the pumpkin comes through quite nicely and remains on the tongue. a good beer for a change of pace

Mar 9, 2008 Pours a ruby/copper color with white lacey head. Great nutmeg and cinnamon aroma and a spiced pumpkin flavor, my favorite pumpkin beer so far. Can’t wait for it to come out again.

Mar 4, 2008 Very spicey. Pours orange, thin lacing. Aroma is dominated by spice. Flavor is dominated by spice. Doesn’t really taste like pumpkin, more just like spice. Cinnamon and nutmeg (as another poster said) ale. Still interested in trying other pumpkin beers though.

Feb 26, 2008 A little too spicy and acidic but not bad at all. The pumpkin flavor is there but not overbearing. Its kinda like a brown ale pouring on on a loaf of pumpkin bread. Not a beer I would like all the time, but good to have every year. If only this was pumpkin stout!.

Feb 17, 2008 12 oz. bottle. As has been my usual experience with this beer, the pour is dark amber with little to no head. Aroma brings to mind a fresh pumpkin pie with cinnamon, pumpkin and nutmeg dominating. The flavor is a bit more subdued, one of the things I like about this beer is that the pumpkin is not overdone. It complements the beer, but doesn’t overpower it. Body is medium and the malts hold up well behind all the spices. Perfect fall beer.
