The aroma is sweet, pumpkin, cinnamon. The appearance is a clear amber, white head. The flavor is pupmkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, hops. Medium in body. The finish has a spicyness which is cinnamon, nutmeg, other, and resiny hops. Quite good, but not exceptional.

Thanks to 5000 for sending me this bottle. Reviewed from notes.
The beer pours a hazy orange color with a white head. The aroma is fairly straight forward and features pumpkin and cinnamon, as expected. The flavor is a little more complex. I get the pumpkin, as well as the spices typically associated with pumpkin beers: cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. The beer is also quite boozy. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

22 ounce bottle form 2011, poured a nice cloudy orange color, with aromas of pumpkin pulp, pumpkin pie, cinnamon, and all spice. Flavors are much the same with dome graham cracker. Real amazing beer, tasted spot on to pumpkin pie but thin on the palate.

22 oz. bottle shared by birchstick- thanks again, Jon! Pours a hazy orange-gold color with a small white head. The aroma and flavor are most easily summarized as: "pumpkin pie". Very smooth pie character. Graham cracker, mild spices, some vegetal quality, caramel malts, brown sugar. Sweet, with low carbonation and a medium body. Good pumpkin beer.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours hazy gold with little to no head. Aroma is spices, nutmeg and pumpkin. Flavor is pumpkin, nutmeg and various spices. Has a nice smooth pumpkin pie finish. Great beer pumpkin finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle courtesy of pailhead. Pours hazy amber with a faint ring of tiny bubbles around the outside of my glass. Aroma is pumpkin spice with a little bit of bready malt in the background. Body is medium-full. Flavor is mild pumpkin pie spice, not as prominent as I like. The beer comes through nicely, but I like a little more spice in a pumpkin beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Growler to go poured hazy copper with off white head. Aromas of cinnamon nutmeg and malts some other pumpkin spices also. Flavor was sweet but not too cloying and tasted of pumpkin pie. Body was medium and crisp finish leaves some malty pumpkin pie flavors
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Amber/orangish pour. Aroma is awesome. Tons of pumpkin and spice, toffee and a note of herbal tea. Flavor is sweet pumpkin pie and just enough hops to keep it honest. Good stuff.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 14/20
A caramel coloured beer with a heap of floaties and a hint of red. Sweet, over-ripe pumpkin flesh in the aroma and something like orange zest with cinnamon. Super round a full in the mouth. Long lasting caramel. This really has a lot of acetone-y booze character which grates a little like a poorly mixed vodka drink. Really interesting, a little beery. At least the clove is very subtle too, I do hate the clove. A really nice one but not my favourite.
