bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA Feb 11, 2009 dchmela gave this to me at the Superbowl party. Not bad. Orange color (imagine that). Felt like a carbonated soda. Nice allspice and pumpkin aroma. Cool cinnamon and sugar hints in the taste. daknole (2810), Plantation, Florida, USA Feb 8, 2009 Bottle from my cousin Sam. Orangish color with an almost white head. Aroma is full of pumpkin pie. Flavor is also loaded with pumpkin pie flavors but has some lemon notes and a tiny bit of bitterness. Good pumpkin beer. french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada Dec 31, 2008 Clear orange poor with a thick foamy off-white. Aromas of pumpkin pie, cumin, cinnamon, a hint of ginger and vanilla. Medium body, very low sweetness and good spicyness. Flavors are much the same as aromas... added nutmeg. ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA Dec 19, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a bright orange color with a small head that quickly dissipates to a ring. The aroma is of nutmeg, cinammon, cloves and squash. The taste follows suit, with a malt presence and some lemony hops that prove a little more assertive. Slight pumpkin flavor comes through. The mouthfeel is quite full and carbonated. The finish is long and spicy.
BigBeer45 (676), Troy, Michigan, USA Dec 18, 2008 Has a clear light red and bronze pour with white and off-white creamy bubbles, some effervescence, left nice bubbly lacing on the sides of the glass, aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg with faint vegetable-pumpkin and malt fragrances, some whiffs of pepper in the background, flavor of spices with fainter malt and pumpkin-vegetable, some malt sweetness, spices give some pepper on the palate along with the bitterness at the finish, easy to drink, medium mouth feel, one of the more enjoyable pumpkin ales I have tried, I found the spices to be a bit more assertive then the malt and pumpkin in aroma and flavor but pretty well balanced, has a nice presentation, the spices did not trounce my senses like some pumpkin beers, one to try if you haven’t. demdeac40 (238), Etowah, North Carolina, USA Dec 17, 2008 Pours a transluscent amber color with nice fluffy white head. The nose is malty sweetness with pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavor is savory pumpkin and yeasty dough. Finishes crisp with a slight cinnamon after taste. Better than the others I had this fall. Quevillon (1519), Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Canada Dec 10, 2008 Bouteille de 355ml, acheté au LCBO de Rideau et King Edward, le 29 novembre 2008. Orange cuivrée, mince collet. Arome d,orge malté, citrouille légèrement épicé avec petite touche de cannelle. Goût un peu végétal, citroulle pas très épicé, avec un peu de malte roti et une très faible amerturme. Bien qu,elle n,est très savoureuse, elle est une bonne example de sa sorte! Block (363), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA Dec 2, 2008 Pours a red orange with a nice white head. Faint malt aroma with some metallic. Flavor of roasted malt and slight spice with a metallic alcohol finish. Decent but not my favorite.
