rayg1 (432), Ft. Mill, South Carolina, USA Dec 2, 2006 This beer was ok pours an orange with your average thin white head. No real aroma to speak of a little sweetness comming in i suppose. Taste is spicy and pumpkin and suprisingly more bitter than i would expect. This beer was still kinda dissapointing. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Nov 24, 2006 Bottle. Poured a cooper color with a creamy off white head that lasted and left moderate lacing. The aroma was very sweat with pumpkin, spices (mainly nutmeg), and candy corn. The flavor found wheat and spices. It is mainly sweat but has a light bitter ending. Light to medium body. JonnyC22 (162), Huntsville, Alabama, USA Nov 21, 2006 Tried this last night. Not really enough spice for me as far as seasonals go, but really good. Very carbonated. leaparsons (4659), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Nov 16, 2006 Bottle. Amber/dark gold with a small foam. Aromas are herbal and vegetable with good earthiness. Quite fruity. Flavours are sweet root vegetables with liquorice and spices. Very herbal in character. Has a good sparkle. Interesting. Glouglouburp (2778), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 15, 2006 (tap at d.b.a.) Clear pale-copper body with a small white head. Very nice fruity and spicy (basil, cinnamon, nutmeg) aroma. Smells like a spicy cinnamon bun. Taste is a letdown. Body is a bit watery. First you get some fruity notes, then nothing, then a surprising medium bitterness. Nothing offensive but you won’t find many things as uninspiring this Halloween as this pumpkin Ale except maybe for a pair of big glasses and a fake moustache. spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA Nov 14, 2006 Aroma is nutmeg,cinnamon and spice.Pours amber with big white head.Tastes of cinnamon and nutmeg.A little thin. MartinT (5026), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Nov 7, 2006 Any first impressions?
-A veil of foam settles atop the clear, light orange.
-An attractive spicy pumpkin pie perfume showcases plenty of nutmeg and pumpkin seeds.
-The first half of the sip exhibits the aforementioned pumpkin pie flavors, but the last half is not as outgoing.
-The lean body is very drinkable, but watery passages make it too thin to my liking.
What if you dig deeper?
-The feeble finish is aqueous and boring.
-A little more maltiness in flavor and body would have been nice.
-Spices aren’t overdone in this well-balanced flavor profile.
-This is a pumpkin ale obviously made for sessions and novelty lovers. I don’t think you win from being overly critical with this beer.
On tap at d.b.a., Manhattan. Beerdedone (1873), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 1, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours deep amber with an off-white head. Aroma of pumpkins and spice. The flavor is sweet, pumpkins, and spice. Good beer.
