12oz bottle, marked 8/9/07. Pours clearish orangish color with a very thin 1/4" head. Much less spicy smelling than the year old bottle. Still get a little spice and a little pumpkin but definitely not as much. Again, much less spice on the nose. But I think its better that way. More sweetness in the spice and a more sweet pumpkin taste. Thin and crisp palate. Much more drinkable than the 1 year old bottle...

From a bottle. Pours a dark golden color with small head. Cinnamon and nutmeg in the aroma. Great spice flavor. A bit creamy mouthfeel. good pumpkin beer but I like Weyers Imperial Pumpkin Ale better.

12 oz bottle. Dark gold pour. Strong alcohol and pumpkin nose with spiciness in the background. Taste of pumpkin (duh), alcohol and spices. A nice winter seasonal and one of the few pumpkin beers I can handle. Extra credit for my wife liking this.

mmm nice and spicy. This is probably one of the better pumpkin ales I’ve tried. Not over done and just the right amount of spice. The aroma is similar to your mum baking a pumpkin pie in the oven. Body is nice and creamy. Flavor is brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. The only thing that’s missing is some whipped cream.

Draft at Ashley’s in Ann Arbor. Pours an amber color, with no head. The taste is nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin. My girlfriend says it is like "pumpkin pie in a glass." It has a smooth and sweet finish. It is the best pumpkin beer I have had, and is just what one should be.

I love pumpkin ales, so when I found a bottle of this in Japan I was pretty excited. Spicy aroma with sweet malts and some pumpkin. Full body that was smooth and creamy. Body is spicier than I was expecting, with malts, some brown sugar and pumpkin that seemed to be strong but not strong enough to power through the spices. While I enjoyed this beer I was a little disappointed that the pumpkin is as muted as it is. Still, nice brew.

Pours a clear orangy amber with an off-white and thick but not persistent head. Aroma is crisp and malty with a hint of spice. Flavor is mainly malty with an undertone of pumpkin - unique and satisfying, as well as smooth and pleasant to drink. Perfect for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and whatever winter holiday you celebrate.
