jhumphries69 (717), Tyrone, Georgia, USA Nov 8, 2009 Draft at Taco Mac. Pours amber and clear. The aroma has a pumpkin spice quality with some neutral malts and a light graininess. The flavor follows the aroma: spicy, grainy, lightly malty. The finish is crisp, but a bit watery. The mouthfeel is light in body and crisply carbonated. Overall - perhaps a decent session beer, but rather plain. darn1207 (528), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Nov 6, 2009 12oz bottle from total wine and more in atlanta. clear darker orange pour with a sturdy white head. big earthy aroma of pumpkin spices. ugh... taste is sweet pumpkin funk. creamy medium texture with no carbonation makes it even tougher to choke down. I’m not a huge herb brew fan to begin with and this didn’t change that. rugbydude05 (280), Kew Gardens, New York, USA Nov 6, 2009 12 oz bottle, pours an orange-amber color with minimal head. Aroma is very sweet with pumpkin, caramel, malt, and spice. Flavor is very sweet but well balanced out by spices and bitterness. Palate is full and moderately rough. Good complex flavor and very easy to drink. Kuzo (32), Allentown, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 3, 2009 Pours a clear dark amber with off-white head and a lot of carbonation. Smells of spice, clove, nutmeg, and malt. Tastes is rather light of pumpkin spice and is not too sweet. A pumpkin pie taste takes shape as it warms up. Some hop bitterness and crispness on the finish. I’m not much of a pumpkin ale fan but this one is surprisingly drinkable. Cirrhosis (610), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Nov 3, 2009 Dark bronzy/orange body with a tall rocky cap floating on top that’s slowly dissipating creating large bubble creators in the mean time. spicy Cream cheese that’s heavy on the clove, soft pumpkin and non aggressive malts fill the nose. Thin malt character and heavy spice taste it seems nice, I even get some mild citrusy hops in the flavour. Brew feels a touch thin and finishes empty and metallic. I guess it’s not bad tasting but I’m missing any of the pumpkin flavor. I wish the beer was thicker and more full, it was descent enough but easily forgettable. bigguns22 (88), Maryland, USA Nov 2, 2009 Too light for fall beer ,has all the flavors you want but not full enough.If you like lite beers this maybe the pumpkin beer for you.Pours amber and clear with small bubbles rising from bottom of glass.Not much noise at all.All the flavors of a good pumkin ale cinnamon,nutmeg and clove but lite. brewski519 (395), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA Nov 1, 2009 From the bottle this ale pours a orange color with a white head. Aroma of pumpkin, spice and malt. Nice balanced taste of pumpkin with cinnamon and nutmet along with a malty body. Still not a huge fan of the pumpkin ales but this is one of the better ones out there. zdk (187), New York, USA Oct 31, 2009 bottle: nice light orange color. The pumpkin flavor really shines in this one. Sweet and malty, sprightly carbonated and smooth. Cinnamon and spice notes. One of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had this fall.
