Jan 8, 2006 Pours amber-orange with a medium, short lasting and off-white head. Significant pumpkin aroma. It has a taste of pumpkin, cinnamon and cloves with notes of caramel. Watery palate. Small, discreet and bitter aftertaste. Nothing special - except the pumpkin flavour...

Jan 7, 2006 Had this one at the AA meeting at summits in november also. Clear orange color. Big time pumpkin aroma with some decent nutmeg hints. It tasted like water with pumpkin spice.

Dec 31, 2005 Updated: Sep 26, 200712 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy orange with an off-white head. Pleasant aroma of cloves and cinammon. The spices also come through in the flavor, along with light pumpkin flavor and some hop bitterness. A bit watery I thought. Also, there is a waxy, almost soapy aftertaste that was very unpleasant. I sampled three different bottles to make sure it wasn’t the drinking glass - the third beer I drank straight from the bottle and it was still there. I’ll pass on this one.

Dec 3, 2005 I appreciate the accentuation on the spices and the clove flavor stands out. The pumpkin flavor seems buried in the aftertase. The beer is pretty light overall and a bit on the watery side but I do like the flavor.

Nov 26, 2005 Pours a yellow/orange color. Has a good spicy aroma, clove, cinamon. Very mellow taste, very good pumpkin beer.

Nov 22, 2005 Amber colored beer out of the bottle with a medium sized off-white head. Nose of cinnimon, pumpkin pie spice and apple. Almost dusty spiciness, with lots of cinnimon, nutmeg and pumpkin pie spice. Nice buscuity malt notes, but this does not have the body I like in a pumpkin beer. Spicey, but not much else.

Nov 21, 2005 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear amber with a spare diminishing white head. Aroma of pumpkin pie spices and caramel malt. Flavour follows the aroma but unfortunately there’s less spice in the taste compared to the aroma making it a tad bland -- less like Pumpkin Ale and more like a light Ale. It’s decent enough but I much prefer the Smuttynose Pumpkin.

Nov 20, 2005 Clear amberish beer with a fast disappearing off white head. Aroma is soft-malty, slight sweet, faint pumpkin like and has touches of carrots, peppers and some touches of citrus. This beer has quit a refreshing caracter but the boddy is on the thin side. It is slight sweet, a bit watery, has a soft slight malty caracter with hints of carrots, pumpkin and other vrgetal accents. It ends with a strange vegetal bitterness.
