UPDATED: OCT 11, 2011 12 oz bottle from Total Beverage - Westminster. Nose is heavy on pumkin with light nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger. Crystal clear orange with a big pale yellowish head. Flavor is pumpkin pie with all the spices. Nice quaffable pumkin lager.

Pours a cloudy butterscotch color with white head. Pumpkin pie aroma. Pleasant test...cinnamon, clove, ginger and flaked barley. Some mellow pumpkin as well but this is more spicy than pumpkiny. Medium body. One of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had.

12oz bottle in a shaker. Pours copper with a thick, cream-colored head. Aroma of pumpkin, caramel/pale malts, a little bit of spices, and light hops. Flavor the same and average texture. Not the best pumpkin beer, but not bad.

Bottle... Poured a golden orange with a khaki head. Loads of squash flavors, hints of yams, brown sugars, pecans, maple syrup, with a crisp clean finish that contained malts and spices. Nose had fresh pumpkin squash with hints of cloves and other spices.

Orange, off-white head. Smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice - the usual pumpkin ale suspects. Flavor is sweet and spicy, again pretty much what you would expect. Not bad, but I don’t know that I’d get it again...

Bottled the 4th week of July. Pours hazy orange, gold along the edges, with a small/medium white head. Aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple pie; spicy, with some fruitiness. The flavor is spicy cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom, as well as some sweet pumpkin and apple. Tart fruit finish. Medium carbonation, drinkable. A little more spice than pumpkin here, but overall pretty good. [799]

Slightly hazy copper tinted body with an orange tint and a very thin off-white head. Aroma of pungent spice and squash note with allspice and cloves coming through, a touch of malt and some nice brown sugars. Medium to Full-bodied; Nice full spice flavour with a good sweetness, some light pit fruits, a touch of malt and a little earthiness. Aftertaste shows good spice tastes, a strong squash and pumpkin full-bodied taste and a good sweetness. Overall, surprisingly good with a nice complex flavour that shows very well for the season. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 04-September-2011 for US$1.35 sampled at home in Washington on 12-September-2011.

Cloudy orange yellow color with a soapy white head that vanishes quickly. Aroma of pumpkin spice, clove, and grain. Sweet flavor with clove, nutmeg, and pumpkin. Decent beer given the style. Would have another.

Serviceable pumpkin beer, served Labour Day weekend t the brewery. Light colour,lacey with almost no head. Spicy pumpkin and cloves. In the style and better than some pumpkin beers, though not the best representative. OK drinkability, must be in the mood to finish a half pint.

UPDATED: AUG 30, 2012 12 oz bottle. Brewed not a week ago. It pours a clear orangeish gold with a foamy off-white head htat leaves some rings of almost ghost-like lace. The smell isn’t that great in imo. It is pickly and vegetal. It is just the wrong spice/veggie combo for me. The flavor is better. It has notes of cinnamon and spice. The pumpkin is subdued and the malt gives a crust flavor. Really tastes like Pumkin Pie, not exactly, not even close but as close as I have tasted in a pumkin beer. The added hops are nice. I am not a fan of this beer style, it seems like it is just some novelty that grew out of proportion but this isn’t bad.
