Oct 28, 2009 Draft. Light orange pour with some white head. Where is the pumpkin? Flavor is lacking and in the aroma. Also very thin in the body.

Oct 28, 2009 Was way more impressed last year when I was trying pumpkin ales for the 1st time. This time I thought it was pretty lacking.

Oct 26, 2009 This is the first beer I have given a numeric rating to in quite a while. In the past pumpkin beers have been rather bland or otherwise rough going down. This one, however, is surprisingly good. There is a significant amount of pumpkin spice, and the finish is malty without being bitter and sticky.

Oct 25, 2009 On tap at Weasel Boy. Clear reddish amber pour with a thin off-white head. Nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, malt and allspice. Not getting any ginger or clove notes and now that I read the description, that makes sense. Spicy and malty flavor, but the finish is kind of dank and odd. Other than that, pretty good.

Oct 24, 2009 From a bottle poured brown with a good amount of head. Spciy malty flavor with a lingering finish.

Oct 24, 2009 (Draught) Amber colour with light haziness. Quite large head with white colour. Malts and spices in aroma. Medium bodied palate with medium carbonation. Malts, spices, hops, bitterness and lightly sweetness in taste. Spices, bitterness and malts in aftertaste. I am rather suprised how much I liked this one.

Oct 23, 2009 Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: The body has a deep golden amber color with a tall foamy and off white colored head. The body has good clarity and the head has good retention as it slowly fades to a much thinner layer that hangs on well. On the way down the glass the head makes slick spotty lacing.
Smell: In the nose there are pleasant pumpkin pie spices like clove, allspice and defiantly cinnamon, with some sweet roasted grain as well.
Taste/Palate: The flavor has a base of sweet roasted grain and a healthy dose of bitter spice and dry leafy hops. Clove, cinnamon and other pie spices pop out and there is just enough pumpkin flesh flavor to make it work. The palate has a tingly carbonation and a medium body.
Notes: This is a solid Pumpkin ale with just enough balance for my taste.
