On tap at the beer store. Light brown with a fizzy head. Earthy pumpkin and spice aroma and taste with some cloves and cinnamon in the finish.

On tap at City Beer in SF. Cloudy dark amber-brown color with a small off-white head. Aroma is decent with good pumpkin spices, pumpkin, and sweet malt. Flavor is not bad but a little harsh. Lots of spices - cinnamon and nutmeg stand out. Also some pumpkin and caramel and roasted malt. Could use a little better malt balance, but it’s still better than most pumpkin ales. A little astringent on the palate with medium body and some spicy zing. Above average overall.

Very solid pumpkin ale. Had a pint last night at the Manchester Pub in NYC. Pours a slightly cloudy, dark orange with a light and creamy head. Aroma of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and pumpkin. Flavor is strong on the clove and nutmeg with less of a pumpkin presence until the finish. Very spicy. Nice, clean finish with a rich, mildly sweet pumpkin aftertaste.

Pours slightly cloudy deep caramel with a finger thick cream colored head.Nice clove, slice and pumpkin nose. Also decent cinnamon present. Flavor is right on with the nose with a really good malty and pumpkin finish. A bit creamy as well.

Bottle. Poured a amber body with thin head. Aroma is light spice and hops. Flavor has a light pumpkin flavor, spice and chocolate.

A nice not too strong nutmeg aroma. Flavor isn’t too heavy. The spices are present but very little heft. Might prefer a less spicier, heftier beer (at the moment). Overall, though, I’m not a bit pumpkin guy.

Bomber poured a clear orange amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of allspice, clove, ginger, carmel and light pumpkin. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, cinnamon, allspice, clove and light pumpkin with a smooth lingering spiced finish.

Clear amber color with a white head. Malty sweet pumpkin pie spice aromas. Medium body. Lots of pumpkin pie spices in the flavor along with a malty sweet pie crust base.
