Complex malt aroma of sweetness and nutmeg. Clear Light amber color with a medium off white head. Spicy but not over powering aroma with a thick body.

I don’t understand the average ratings for this beer; maybe I just haven’t had enough pumpkin ales, but this was absolutely delicious. Pours deep mahogany with small white head; nose is caramel, pumpkin spice, and brown sugar. Tastes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and heavily spiced pumpkin peel. Very nice.

Clear, brown body with a decent off-white head. Good lacing develops as the beer is drank. Fantastic aroma of pumpkin, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg (as advertised!). Medium palate, which is a bit thinner than I expected. There is more spice to the flavor than pumpkin. Nutmeg, allspice and cinnamon for sure. The finish is clean, but a bit bitter. Very nice beer.

Ironically enough, I found this beer in the fridge of a frathouse at Brown University. Smelled it and it had a nice pumkin smell that was confirmed by other people who smelled it. Pretty thick and brown colored head. Definately has a complex palate, with an undertone of pumpkin and various spices. Strong alcohol taste is completely masked by the rich taste. Quite an excellent brew.

Had this on a few occassions, a great sessionable pumpkin with a good story behind the name, I like this best strait out the bottle, a very appropriate seasonal.

As said before, pumpkin pie. Not too sweet though. I like it, but I like everything from these guys.

12 oz bottle thanks to Aaron for bringing this home from Arizona. Nice flavors of some spice, nutmeg, and hints of cinnamon. Good!

pours a very clear deep orange/amber color with a medium white head. aroma is fairly spicy with nutmeg and cinnamon, a hint of pumpkin, and a touch of alcohol. flavor is of spicy pumpkin pie balanced with mild hoppiness. very bubbly mouthfeel and a hoppy and slightly dry lingering finish that has a touch of spices. very enjoyable pumpkin beer that is mildly warming.
