3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a pint glass. Bought less than a week ago from a fresh shipment.
A: Deep copper/orange color with a light tan head 1 finger thick that dissipates fast with little to no lacing or cling.
S: Light bread hints, strong spices, cinnamon/nutmeg, light pumpkin smell.
T: More hoppy than anything, smell is stronger than taste. Cinnamon and nutmeg hints with a light pumpkin finish. Rather bland overall though.
M: Medium carbonation, thin-medium bodied. Hoppy aftertaste lingers for a little.
O: Nothing memorable, smells better than it tastes and that’s not saying a lot. More hops flavor than pumpkin and spices unfortunately. Bottle design is a decent twist on the Headless Horseman.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured hazy orange-amber with a small, light tan head. Aroma is of pumpkin mixed with mild notes of spice and butter. Palate is slightly heavy and somewhat deep. Flavor of pumpkin meat at first, followed by strong, lingering nutmeg and cinnamon in the finish pumpkin is nothing with out the spices.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Light amber-orange; scant tan iridescent head. Aroma of mild fall spices with hints of honey. Tastes somewhat bitter, akin to crisp fall leaves sprinkled with pepper and hops. Palate is crisp and dry. Overall enjoyable, but it left something to be desired.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Pours a glassy but thick amber with a nice off-white head. Aroma is perfumy pumpkin hairspray and a dash of roasted nuts. Flavor is rosy pumpkin, perfume, and nutmeg. Average mouthfeel. Alluring as perfume on a woman? Perhaps. A tasty beer? Not so much.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Ichabod is a consistent and reliable pumpkin beer. There are hints of pumpkin, as opposed to just the pumpkin pie spices, which is nice. The finish in this beer seems a tad peppery/bitter (is there allspice in here?), but overall, a very drinkable beer.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. The pour was a hazy medium brown with a slight orange hue and a large (2-3 finger) off white rocky head that had decent retention and fair lacing that stuck to the glass throughout.
The aroma was mild of toasted barley malt, a mild herbal hop and a doughy yeast with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin.
The taste was very lightly sweet with a hint of nutmeg and cinnamon at first and moderately bitter with a strong taste of pumpkin rind and clove at the finish. The flavor lasted an average time with the bitter flavor lingering well beyond any of the other flavors.
Mouthfeel was light to medium in body, watery and a little dry in texture with a mild carbonation.
Overall this brew has so much bitter spice flavor that it just overwhelms all the other flavors in this beer.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a reddish amber with a nice light head whick faded slowly to a maintaining lacing. Aroma was an interesting combo - spicey nose with nutmeg and pumpkin with hints of citrus-like hops. Taste was of spice, pumpkin and malts with a moderate hop finish. It left a pumpkin/spice after-taste on the palate. Mouthfeel was decent but nothing real special. Overall, I would call this decent pumpkin ale.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle - wegmans sterling - pours a clear reddish orange with a thin white head. Aroma is piney with notes of pumpkins and spices. Taste is a little bitter with sweet finish. Palate is slightly dry. Overall, drinkable.
