On tap at the Iron HIll in Media. Poured a clear, medium amber color with an off white head. Mainly spices in the nose. Very light pumpkin comes through in the taste. Dry finish. Fizzy body.

Medium copper pour, with aroma of strong pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice. The flavor was pumpkiny, authentic, not too sweet, with a medium palate that got a bit tart at the finish. Smooth drinking, but not terribly complex or having those intangible qualities that made me want to order another.

Nice pumpkin flavor. More spice than sweetness, which I liked. Great amber/orange color.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured an amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of light cinnamon and caramel malts. Taste followed suit, non-descript, lightly spiced, maybe some metal, bitter hops, and thin. Especially after that Vanilla Pumpkin, this one really fell short.

On tap at the Media location. Pours a translucent orange amber with a small off white lacing head. Aroma was on the lighter side. Picked up some pumpkin as well as various pumpkin pie spices. Taste was of the same. Pretty standard Pumpkin Ale, luckily nothing artificial going on like some of these have. Was also picking up more "standard" beer characteristics compared to others I’ve had. Might have been due to some of the hops I was picking up.

Big thanks to mday for sending this out.
Pours a moderate orange color with a little bit of a brownish tint in there. White head and a bit of lacing. The nose is fairly faint with a bit of pumpkin and residual sweetness. The taste is light pumpkin pie with some brown sugar and only a bit of spicing. Good medium body with ample carbonation. Drinks well and is a nice offering.

UPDATED: FEB 2, 2009 On tap, @ Wilmington location. Pours a clear orangish amber body with a small wispy off-white head. The nose is all pumpkin pie spices with minimal pumpkin meat and some caramel malt. The flavor is much the same, sweet caramel malt up front with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg, minimal pumpkin flavor. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and little bit clingy. Pretty much the usual for a Pumpkin Ale, lots of spice, little bit of pumpkin.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured with an amber color, decent head, good retention, good lacing. The aroma was spicey, pumpkins. The flavor was pretty well balanced for a pumpkin ale, nice touch of pumpkins as well as cinnamon and nutmeg, not overboard on either. Mouthfeel moderate but fairly well carbonated, keeping this a little on the dry side (nothing cloying or spicey annoying!).
