Bottle. This is a cheap pumpkin 6 pack if that is what you are looking for. You get what you pay for.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Had this bottle at a local happy hour favorite spot last fall. Subdued overall on the pumpkin contributions, go have a Pumking instead.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. 4/16/13. Pours a translucent green-orange with a thin off-white head. Aroma is pumpkin spice, grass, bread, vegetables. Taste is vegetables, clove, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, biscuit, nutmeg, grass. Some light lacing. Creamy, slightly chewy mouth feel. Carbonation is medium. Not bad, but just not all that flavorful. I want something that tastes like pumpkin; this tastes vaguely of pumpkin spice.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
I’m not a huge pumpkin ale guy but this one had a great aroma of pumpkin and spices and poured an actual orange amber color like the description. Taste had hints of pumpkin and cinnamon but not overpowing. A great fall beer
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Backlog rating 12-28-2008 (Bottle) The appearance is a small off-white head that mostly diminished during my rating, transparent body, semi-fizzy carbonation, spotty amounts of lacing, and an orange hue. The Aroma is sweet, pumpkin, lightly spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg, and malty. The Taste is sweet, light pumpkin, spicy, cinnamon, nutmeg and ends with a dry finish. The Palate is smooth and this is a light-medium bodied beer. Overall, this beer is quaffable, not over-the-top pumpkin in the Aroma or Taste categories.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: APR 2, 2013 October 2011. 12 oz. bottle. Pours orange/amber with a small white head. Pumpkin aroma blended with spice, orange and nutmeg. It’s an OK pumpkin ale without really standing out.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle, Chester Beer & Wine. Insipid amber pour. Nose of spice, pumpkin and fruits. Similar flavour, sweetish and quite light.. Rather thin overall. Didn’t really dig this.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
2012 bottle. Taste is of plasticy pumpkin, hint of vanilla, spices. Bottle is not that old but it is awful.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours orange with a white head and aroma of pumpkin and spices. Taste is of tons of pumpkin cloves, and spices with a spicy, medium finish. Drinkable, solid pumpkin brew from Brooklyn.
2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle - Nutmeg, orange peel, pumpkin and clove on the nose. Clear orange with a thin bubbly head. Carbonation really kills the taste. A bit of a burn, almost like alcohol but may be the spices and carbonation. Lots of orange and spice, not much pumpkin or subtle flavors I come to expect or enjoy from this kind of seasonal. Likely much better on tap.
