2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Slightly hazy golden amber, small head... Definite apple cider aroma, kind of bland... A little spicy, not a ton of pumpkin flavor... good flavor, interesting, the lager yeast makes the finish thin, the flavors dont linger... lively...

UPDATED: APR 14, 2012 Bottle @ home. Hazy, reddish orange appearance with a small off-white head. Rich, toasty pumpkin, vanilla, huge nutmeg, cinnamon aroma. Quite rich pumpkin, spicy cinnamon/nutmeg, light vanilla flavor. This is actually a re-rate on a 18 month old bottle and is still tasty.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear orange amber color with a thin off white film. The aroma is sweet, with mild hints of pumpkin and way too much spice. The flavor is like the nose too short on the pumpkin and too heavy on the spices. Soft and a touch thin, this became tough to finish.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite - Jersey City, 9/26/10
Aroma: The nose is dominated by the pumpkin spice, nutmeg, and cinnamon
Appearance: It pours into the glass a clear caramel-orange color without much head
Flavor: The taste also has quite a bit of spice, it is much like the nose, not much else going on here
Palate: It is light-medium bodied, with a lasting spice that tingles on the tongue after the beer dissipates
Overall Impression:
This one is one-dimensional, but I like that dimension. This is what you should be expecting when you buy a Pumpkin beer, and it is well executed. I’m a pumpkin beer fan in general, and though this isn’t a perfect beer, I found it to be well executed and enjoyable on a nice fall afternoon watching football.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12 oz. Clear, light amber with a small ring of bubbles. Nose is earthy cinnamon and dried leaf. Flavor is light squash, with some pie spice: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove. Light body is spicy dry and watery. Nice that the spice was not overdone, but a lighter touch would be even better to let the pumpkin shine through even more.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A clear light golden-amber brew with a good spicy-herbal nose. Body is medium and rather satisfying. Flavor is light spice and pumpkin - with some biscuit malts. This is an interesting lager version of the pumpkin beer. Finish is clean and lightly malty.
