3.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 bluejacket74 (214) - Reynoldsburg, Ohio, USA - SEP 5, 2010
22 ounce bottle. Served in a nonic pint glass, the beer pours a clear orange/amber color with a half inch fizzy off-white head that went away pretty quickly. Not much lacing at all. Aroma is very strong and spicy, mostly like cinnamon and cloves but with some nutmeg, ginger and pumpkin noticable too. I can taste all the spices and pumpkin, but for whatever reason the taste doesn’t live up to what this brew smells like. It’s a lot weaker tasting than I thought it would be, at least compared to the aroma anyway. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit slick with low carbonation. Drinkability is OK enough. It’s a decent pumpkin ale, but not one of my favorites. I think it’s worth trying, I wouldn’t turn one down.

A decent pumpkin beer. A little ordinary in some regards, but very drinkable. Aroma was nice and sweet, though a little subdued. Nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin with a sweet caramel backbone. Pour was a thick sticky light brown with slow moving bubbles and a thin off white film for a head. Taste was good. Nutmeg, brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin in the front with a sweet malty sticky aftertaste. Medium carbonation. Nice beer.

The pour is orange amber with virtually no head. The nose is all pumpkin pie spices. The taste is smooth with traces of pumpkin pie and caramel. I prefer the Weyerbacher, but this is not bad at all.
