Sep 7, 2005 Bottle. Different label than that in the picture. A deep copper pour with a thin light-tan head. Lots of cinnamon, nutmeg and malts along with some sweet pumpkin in the aroma. The taste is malty more than anything else. Hardly a hint of any of the typical pumpkin beer flavors and spices. Just a little pumpkin along with a sweet, malty body and a slightly spicy finish. Thin to medium-bodied. Not one of the better pumpkin ales.

Sep 6, 2005 The best part about this ale is the aroma of autumn spices (allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.). This is not a distinctly "pumpkin" flavored ale, but finding a true pumpkin ale is rare (usually micro-brews only offer this). Color was nice, and the flavor follows to aroma with a nice sweet/malty spice. Medium body with a moderately dry mouthfeel. This is one of the best "accessible" pumpkin ales on the market. Overall, I really like this seasonal ale, and give it an above average rating.

Aug 30, 2005 Bottle. Pours golden orange with a small head. Decent pumpkin-pie smell in the nose- decent spicing. Flavor is very similar to the nose... spices and some pumpkin. Nice and tasty... but not mindblowing.

Jun 1, 2005 (12oz bottle) Thanks to Joey_Capps for this bottle. Pours an orange body with mild carbonation. Slightly buttery upon a turnip base. Very butterscotch taste with nutmeg and cinnomin.

May 12, 2005 I’ve tried quite a few different pumkin ales brought out for each year’s season. This one was a nice amber color, a bit spicy, but still seemed to be weak as far as the underlying ale is concerned. A bit on the malty side.

Apr 29, 2005 This one was copper colored. A big ol halloween pumpkin aroma. The flavor was somewhat spicy mainly cinnamon hiding behind the pumpkin flavor. The body was a bit thin. I dont really like pumpkins but this one was ok.
