3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
reddish amber, strong smell of fall spices and roasted malts. nice balanced pumpkin flavor with a slight taste of cloves. excellent as far as pumpkin ales go.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The aroma is pumpkin pie spices, toasted malts, caramel. The color is a deep amber/brown, off-white head. The flavor is pumpkin, spices, caramel, brown sugar. Medium in body, thicker than expected, fairly creamy. The finish is spicy, some resiny hops. Nothing outstanding, but really not bad. Quite drinkable.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle pours clear amber red color with off white head. Aroma has a slight pumpkin smell with no spices. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor was real pumpkin and the spice flavor is all but non existent. Finishes with a caramel pumpkin sweetness that is somewhat satisfying. Decent brew.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear copper/brown with a tan head, very nice retention and good lacing. Caramel malt aromas with noticable pumpkin pie spice. Surprisingly rich roasted and caramel malt flavor with a spice kick and a hops bitterness late. Medium body, ample carbonation, and a pleasant balance in the finish. Much better than anticipated.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Moderate nutmeg aroma. Clear orange color with a small tan head. Mild sweet beginning with a bitter spice finish
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a mug.
The color is a clear reddish gold with two fingers of foamy brownish head and some nice thick lacing.
The smell is a little funky at first. Some bitter earthy hop flavor so far and not a lot of pumpkin to be had.
The taste is pumpkin at last. There is a juicy pumpkin flavor that is accompanied with a nice sweet flavor that is interesting. There is a bitterness that is out there in the background but there is mostly a pumpkin spicy flavor that keeps me coming back at the moment.
This beer has a nice lighter feel to it. There is a nice finish to it and it goes down well. Ii is not the best beer from Boston beer Co. but not a bad one either.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle, mixed 12pk. Harvest Collection. Pours dark copper. Yup, smells like a spice beer. Definitely a pumpkin ale. Peppery spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove. Flavor of pumpkin bread, spice, and yeasty esters. Finishes with a black pepper kick. not the best pumpkin spice ale, drinks pretty good.
3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark amber color. Cinnamon aroma. Sweet malty flavor with cinnamon and pumpkin flavors. Not an outstanding pumpkin ale.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to Dmac. Pours out a clear dark copper-amber color with no real head to speak of. Aroma is slightly weak, some traditional pumpkin spices, and a little bit of sweet malts. Taste is better than the aroma, notes of pumpkin spices, clove, nutmeg, cinnamon and a little bit of some malty notes in there also. Definitely not a bad effort for a mass produced brew.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours copper with a tan head. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg and caramel. Taste is sweet with the pumpkin spices coming through. The aroma and taste are mild and work together nicely. Dry finish with no lingering pumpkin aftertaste..
