Oct 11, 2004 poured a deep brown color with a slight white head. A nice mix of spice, malts and hops on the nose. Pumpkin was prevelent but not overpowering a good balanced beer.

Aug 31, 2006 12 oz. Bottle. Pours a clear scorched orange color with a off white head and creamy lacing. It has a robust aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and other spices with some malt (I know it says this on the label). Same in the flavor with a malt background and a earthy hop bite in the finish. Medium in body. Not over done like some pumpkin ales

Oct 22, 2003 Aroma is spicy, with some malt, and a backgournd of cooked pumpkin. Hints of smoke also. Nice red-amber color, with a very pale tan head. Flavor is spicy, with much pumpkin in the tail. Body is nice and robust. Finishes a little bitter.

Sep 25, 2004 Bottle: Pours a light copper color, almost like a red with a small head. This is by far the best brewed pumpkin ale I’ve ever tried, but not the best tasting one. Clearly the ingredients were top quality, and the beer was skillfully brewed. Even at 7% abv this beer masks the alcohol content excellently. I like that this beer tastes more genuine in terms of using real ingredients rather than just an extract mix. I also like the almost cilantro-like taste in the palate, combined with a bitterness not found in most pumpkin ales. Though overall there’s just something about this beer that makes me prefer it less than others in its style....a rare instance for me with DFH.

Oct 13, 2004 Frothy off-white head. Slightly dark clear amber body. Nutmeg, pumpkin spice, with slight hops. Good flavor... a mix of hops, spices, and sweet malt. Hops are "pilsnery" and prick the tongue with slight astringency that is accompanied by spices. A bit warming in the belly. However, while I enjoy the flavor, after a while it gets a little overpowering. May be great with food, but probably not a session beer for me.

Oct 18, 2008 Well made Pumpkin ale. I love pumpkin pie, and this smells just like it. Well integrated into the flavor, with no weird allspice aftertaste I get with most of this style....very natural tasting.

Jul 31, 2006 Bottle. Nice pumpkin aroma - more pumpkin than pumpkin spice if that makes any sense. Also very sweet. Deep orange, small orange/white head. Nice taste - brown ale maltiness with sweet pumpkin and hops. I actually found it way too sweet, as it doesn’t balance well at all (a delicate act with these pumpkin beers in my experience). Sticky sweet full fizzy mouthfeel. Not bad!
