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.

Nov 19, 2005 Bottles shared with blankboy, tupalev & HogTownHarry - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Clear orange-amber with a small head. Aroma is quite robust - very malty & spicey, with some subtle pumpkin notes. Flavour is well-balanced, with the maltiness and spiceness complementing each other well. I didn’t enjoy it quite as much as the Smuttynose, but it was still quite tasty.

Nov 19, 2005 Bottle. Aroma of pumpkin pie - cinnamon, cloves, pumpkin. Reddish brown color with small head. Very lightly sweet pumpkin flavor but with strong cloves. Gives you what it says - nice without being cloying.

Nov 19, 2005 Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev - my bottle. Poured bright clear orange with a minimal head. Aroma sharply of pumpkin and extremely strong pumpkin pie spices. Taste is pumpkins and pie, and strangely smokey, there’s an actual beer (light ale) backbone here, fairly balanced. Mouthfeel is nicely carbonate, sharp - not bad: the Smuttynose pumpkin was better, but this one was also surprisingly good.

Nov 17, 2005 Bottled. Spicy aroma. A little too much cloves-like aroma. Golden beer with a white head. Reminds me of christmas in both aroma and flavor, but is too light. A fine beer for the late fall-season. (051029)

Nov 16, 2005 Bottle. Aroma has a hint of spice, perhaps cinnamon. Greyish copper colour. Looks flat. Sourish bitterness. Not interesting.
