3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Maple Shade. Poured a clear orange/copper body with a fizzy smaller white head. The aroma is great with lots of balanced spices, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and whatever the hell esle is in a pumpkin beer. The flavor is more pumpkin then expected but the spice notes are coming across nicely dominated by nutmeg and cinnamon, along with some toast and grains. Medium bodied with average carbonation to slightly bubbly. Solid but the aroma trumps the flavor.

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.

Light, wheaty aroma with spice and even pumpkin notes. Amber in color with no head. Medium bodied, moderately spiced, slightly "squashy" from the pumpkin. A nice fall beer.

On tap in P-ville...It pours dark ruby amber with a ligjht head. There is defdintely a warming homey aroma of spices and pumpkin. The flavor of delicous cooked pumpkin and the addition of the spices over the hops hits the palate perfectly. The sweetness to balance the flavor is appreciated on the tongue.

Newark location. I hate pumpkin beers. I don’t like beers that taste like some store bought spiced cookie, which is how most pumpkin ales taste. This is far and away the best pumpkin ale I’ve had. The base is a malty caramel that reminds one of a good amber ale. The sweet pumpkin fruitiness is present, but doesn’t scream, "HEY LOOK AT ME!". It’s just there, and it’s cool. Mild spiciness gives this one some balance, again, without stealing the show. I still didn’t love it (I think I’m hopeless when it comes to pumpkin ales), but this one was far and away the best I’ve had.
