DerWeg (748), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 12, 2007 Pie-spice and baked pumpkin aroma very much like a pie. Medium strength flavor and body, very clean and drinkable. Nice color. Enjoy it warmed up with fresh whipped cream. RichardGretton (3131), Leicestershire, England Feb 6, 2007 Bottle. Reddish amber beer with a good strong head. The aroma is fruity/spiced winter berries, rather like Christmas pudding, and the flavour is quite syrupy dry with a slightly intense bitter finish. Overall a nice beer. robinvboyer (1419), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada Jan 26, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2007nice red/orange color, not much head.
big spicy flavour, lots of pumpkin, and colves, and cinnamon, nice beer ti sip ad let warm in your glass. melvin980 (184), Pennsylvania, USA Jan 23, 2007 Pretty good. I got this case on special for 10 dollars a case. One of the best weeks of my life. SilkTork (4155), Rochester, Kent, England Jan 18, 2007 360ml bottle from BeersOfEurope. Filtered and carbonated like a lager. The base beer lacks interest but is clean enough with a soft sweetness. Most of the interest comes from the blend of spices which work well enough giving a pleasant woody warmth. The sweet pumpkin used in the brew adds no real character and is mainly added so the brewer can claim this is made with pumpkin. Though there is some documentary evidence that early American brewers did occasionally use sweet pumpkins as a fermentation material, the beers they were making back then were dark beers in the style of porters, and didn’t contain the spices that are such a feature of this brew - as such the blurb is very spurious and should be regarded as fanciful and romantic rather than accurate. bgburdman9 (822), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 11, 2007 I was forced into drinking this one by sliffy and nolankowal. Very spicy with pumpkin flavors. Malty with a orange color. Sweet with just an annoying spiciness to it. sliffy (1966), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jan 11, 2007 Bottle with a dubious thanks to nolankowal for "sharing" (drinking less of it): Thanks john: Amber color with an off white head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and some pumpkin. Smelled too much like Jack’s pumpkin spice. Flavor, spicy, sweet malts, a bit bready, and some pumpkin flavors. Not good. sneagrams3 (1704), St. Louis, Missouri, USA Jan 10, 2007 12 oz bottle. Filtered amber hue. Strong aromas of cinnamon and ginger and nutmeg. Slight vanilla note. Medium bodied and sweet. An almost immediate bitter middle into the finish. Lively but bitter. Nice spice flavor. A little too bitter for my liking. Nice alcohol subtlety and sticky hop finish.
