2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draught at Brickskeller, Washington DC
Blond color, big head. It has a delicate aroma of cinnamon cookies. Smooth mouthfeel, with a quite evident cookie and cinnamon flavor. I don’t understand where the pumpkin is, and I just reject the concept of Halloween beers.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle... Crystal clear, light amber ale. No lasting head. Spicy, breadsy, floral aroma with a hint of candied ginger. Good balance... lightly sweet, but fairly well-bittered. Pumpkin and spice is evident, but subtle, not cloying. Medium-bodied and watery... a little too thin. Fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Not at all shabby, but not a style I’m really into. I’ve only run into a few pumpkin ales I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. Hey, it’s beer... that’s a big plus!
2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle. Poured a medium amber color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of pumpkins and spices (I’m getting cinnamon, nutmeg and some others in there). I liked the way pumpkin was done in the aroma. Tastes of very light pumpkin and very light spices. The tastes were a major let down compared to the aroma. Thin and watery body.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Small head, horrible aroma with booze. Apple juice with strong carbonation. Pumpkin and cloves in taste, the nutmeg and the cinammon, brown suger. Off-bitterness. Light mouthfeel. A me-too pumpkin. Didn’t work.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Thanks to BBB63 for this. Pours slight hazy copper/dark straw (not full copper). Aroma of pumpkin, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), malt...nice pumpkin pie aroma. Tastes malty, pumkpiny, with solid pumkpin spice element and some finishing breadiness. A very good pumkpin ale.
