stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 23, 2006 Bottle sampled with Beerded one. Pours bronze with a small of-white head. Aroma of pumpkin pie, spices, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet, pumpkin pie, and spices. The body is thin, yet this is still slightly enjoyable. bethmatt0421 (317), Covington, Kentucky, USA Sep 22, 2006 Aroma is pumpkin spice, ginger. Flavor is much the same, also cinnamon, with a malty backbone. I really like the fact that this beer is thin and light on the pumpkin. Ive had pumpkin brews that were just overpowering with the pumpkin. Or tasted like they used cheap ingredients. Recommended. PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Sep 17, 2006 Updated: Oct 18, 2006Pours a thin amber with a film for head. Aroma is light of ginger, and pumpkin pie. Very thin & watery with only a light suggestion of spice and a slight bitterness present in the finish. Not too good. RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Sep 12, 2006 bottle. Aroma: Spicy with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Pumpkin is there, but not as prevalent as I would have hoped. A touch of sweet malt and caramel. Appearance: Medium orange in color and clear. Off white head was thin and fleeting. Not much lacing. Flavor: Spices jump out front in the flavor, as well. Again cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove seem to be the major players. Pumpkin comes through clear with a light sourness. A good slightly sweet maltiness and a bit of caramel. Palate: Medium-light bodied and slightly watery. Medium-high carbonation. Finish was slightly sour. Overall: A pumpkin beer should showcase pumpkin, and this one doesn’t. More spicy with a pumpkin undertone. Not bad, but there are better. Trooper11 (464), Suffolk, Virginia, USA Sep 8, 2006 Bon Vivant Tasting. Pale orange, aroma of cloves, spices, No head. Spicy, and a bit sour flavor. Light bitterness. Dry bitter after taste. Tanker12 (121), USA Sep 2, 2006 Updated: Sep 6, 2009Decent pumpkin beer. The aroma is of the usually list of spices but this beer has the body that many pumpkin ales are lacking. One of my favorites but still never as good as i remember it/ want it to be from the previous year. BeerHeadBobby (142), In Hiding.., Florida, USA Aug 29, 2006 Bottle - Pours a dark golden orange...
