This one poured a lighter orange colorw ith an off white head. Aroma was of light pumpkin spies, mainly ginger, and light clove. Flavor was ginger clove, cinnamon and light toast. Nothing offensive, but not good.

Bottle:   Reddish side of amber, faint haze, small sudsy white head, little lacing.   Spicy nose, cinnamon, nutmeg, lots of allspice.   Similar tongue, just the right amount of spiciness IMO.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Clean finish, lingering spices.   This is a nice straight forward example of the style!

Ron (1990) - Rochester, New York, USA - JAN 26, 2013
Bottle. Poured an amber color with a creamy white head that left quickly. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, with hint of pumpkin. Good pumpkin flavor with cinnamon and nutmeg, but not overwhelming spices. Good beer!

60minuteman (433) - Frazer, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 6, 2012
Malt, hop, pumpkin and spice. Clear orange brew. Initially a strong pumpkin presence, balanced later on by the pale malts. Not exactly a rich ale. Rather boring but still enjoyable.

pineypower (2152) - Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA - NOV 17, 2012
Pours out a nice orangey color with not much of a head. Aroma is of some nice pumpkin spices, vanilla, nutmeg and some sweetness. Taste is of a solid dose of pumpkin spices, much like the aroma. Body slightly light.

jgb9348 (3970) - Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA - NOV 5, 2012
Slightly hazy copper coloured body with a light orange glow and a nice, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of squash, yeast, bread, allspice, a hint of tea and a small amount of ginger. Medium-bodied; Assertive pumpkin/squash notes up front with a strong earthy/malty note and a hint of toffee and caramel. Aftertaste shows slightly more spices than noticeable up front, but not much coming through - only a tiny bit of squash and allspice - nothing else of note. Overall, a decent pumpkin beer, but I was expecting much more complexity and easily some more depth. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Wegman’s in Malvern, Pennsylvania on 22-September-2012 for US$1.99 sampled at home in Washington on 05-November-2012, on election eve in the USA.

DocLock (6800) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 5, 2012
Bottles from Wegmans and Capone’s. Pours chill hazy caramel colored with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is pumpkin spice, cardamom, vienna malt., Tastes semi-sweet, with a medium palate heft and complexity, and a flavor that has pumpkin and pumpkin spice up front, then some malt kicks in, but the punpkin is the star here.
