Suds are bubbly and very thin. It's the color of apple juice. Nice pumpkin aroma and light on the palate. Nice selection but not overly impressive. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Dark copper, thin head, nice lacing. Delightful aroma. Pumpkin spice is excellent. Feels like I had a nice big slice of pumpkin pie. Small gingerbread men dancing on my tongue; nice on the palate. Would be great on a crisp fall night. Cheers Lagerboy.

I thought this was a very good version of a pumpkin beer. Not overally spiced though I would have liked it to be a little heavier.

I was a bit surprised to encounter Night Owl on draft after Christmas, but ordered a draft nonetheless. Textbook pumpkin ale, copper body, tan head, pumpkin, spice and maltiness all present in this light bodied beer.

Average pumpkin beer. A little sour, lite on flavor and aroma. I'd defer to other Elysian fall offerings, and you should too. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

madvike (2128) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 5, 2013
Bottle from brewolf...thanks Michael! - Pours clear amber with a thin off-white head. Nose is spicy--all the spices from the description are there--clove most dominant, then ginger, with the allspice and nutmeg hanging out too. Light sweetness and a bit of light bread. Taste is roughly the same, with the spice really showing itself on the finish, after the initial pumpkin/bread malt recedes. Thin body with ample carbonation. Interesting beer, though a little heavy on the spice.

Aroma is pumpkin and various spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. Amber-orange color with a thin head. Strong pumpkin flavor balanced with spices. Nutmeg, cinnamon and clove notes. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bottle. Mostly clear red-orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is pumpkin, lots of spice, and some fruitiness. Taste is sweet with not a whole lot of flavor. A little spice on the finish. Light to medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Not bad for a lighter pumpkin, but pumpkin beers shouldn’t be that light IMO.

(Bottle). Amber-orange complexion. Aroma was faint but distinctly pumpkin. The flavor was true to style and was not overly spiced with natural pumpkin flavor. A bid too carbonated. This is my first sample from this brewer. Looking forward to others. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

22oz bomber. Pour is a beautiful clear orange color with no head at all. Aroma is of pumpkin, pumpkin spice and everything nice. Mouth is semi- sweet up front with pumpkin flavor and a mild bitterness. I catch a little spice in the finish. Fairly lighter in body with a slightly watered down effect. Not bad overall but would appreciate more spice notes in the flavor.
