kegmeister (22), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Dec 17, 2007 Bad combination of flavors. It tastes like they simply dumped cans of pumpkin pie mix into the vat. Check out the solids on the bottom. Not one of their best.

WakeandBake (98), Greenville, Michigan, USA Oct 12, 2008 Bottle from Pauly’s. Orange in color with a minimal white foam head.Ginger,cinnamon,and nutmeg spice aromas. Tastes like grandma made pumpkin pie with some lager in the mix, very nice very subtle. Nice mouthfeel, some lacing. Solid offering. joeymacaroni (142), West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 11, 2008 pours a dark golden-orange, slightly hazy. thin teafroth head. aroma is pumpkin, spice, lemon/ citrus, and a musky herbal note. flavor is tart, wheaty, herbal. aftertaste is roasted pumpkin and spice. malty. kinda dry. medium carbonation, pretty thick. mcjay (88), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA Oct 4, 2008 Light golden color with a thin white head. Strong pumpkin spice aroma. Smooth, malty taste with a pumpkin flavor. Claims to be the worlds only pumpkin lager (all the others are ales.) Not bad. Beaver (488), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Oct 2, 2008 12 oz bottle, bottled wk1 of August. Pours hazy golden copper with a fizzy white head that quickly diminishes to a thin collar that leaves a little lacing.
The aroma is spices - cinnamon, nutmeg and other pumpkin pie spices.
The flavor is a bit off. Spices are present, but there is a sweet vegetal malt and some earthy bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.
Overall, I really liked the smell of the beer - the flavor, not so much.
