Sep 6, 2009 bottle, pours amber with a tall frothy light tan head. Wheat, sourness, and pumpkin nose. Lots of pumpkin flavor wtih a light spice and mildly sour malt finish. This is fairly refreshing, but every flavor from the pumpkin to spice is very light.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a clear orange/amber with quickly fading off-white head. Aroma is nice, some nuttiness, a little caramel, nutmeg, a little cinnamon, pumpkin. Flavor is tasty, some nutmeg, light cinnamon, pumpkin, faint sweetness, small malt back bone. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Overall, a nice tasty pumpkin beer, easy drinking and flavorful!

Aug 26, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours translucent orange amber, topped with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is dominated by spice, with notes of nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon, with caramel and pumpkin in the background. Pumpkin meat comes through a bit more on the palate than in the aroma. Nutmeg and allspice compliment the pumpkin and hang out for a fairly long finish. This was one of the first pumpkin ales I sampled, over a decade ago, and it’s still one of the best I’ve tried.

Aug 23, 2009 Bottle. Very spicy pumpkin scent....smells delicious. Unfortunately, the scent was probably the best part. Tastes like a standard ale, but with a slight pumpkin finish. The spice in the scent didn’t really come through in the taste for me. It was alright, but I was hoping for more pumpkin flavor out of a pumpkin ale.

Aug 12, 2009 Bottle Pbust pours a clear amber with a thin off white head. The head has average lastability. The lacing is good. Has a nice aroma of pumpkin, spices, and ginger snap cookie. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is good. Not too pumpkiny but spicy and mild. Has a watery texture. The finish is good and a good aftertaste. Not the most robust pumpkin but good flavor and enjoyable.

May 21, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber with a white head. Aroma of pumpkin, spices, and sweet malt. Flavor is the same, nice pumpkin but lacks a little balance. Dry finish with high carbonation. Middle-of-the-road pumpkin ale.

Overall Impression:
Pretty Standard Pumpkin, you’ve had it before. Better then a Jack’s or a Blue Moon certainly, but nothing special.

May 4, 2009 12oz bottle: Reddish gold pour with a fantastic pillow top head that laces all the way down. Looks like an autumn beer to me. The nose lots in the spice department - cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice immediately come to mind. Some deeper whiffs reveal ginger, white pepper and lemon zest. An interesting mix. The body adds a nice caramel malt sweetness to the mix, but could be a bit beefier to stand up to the heavy spices. Dries nicely on the tongue, almost becoming a bit chalky. Good.
