| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Vegetal spicy pie aroma. More actual pumpkin. Golden light amber thin foam. Pumpkin meat, spicy cinnamon - lots of it. Interesting mix, lots of spice - black pepper and menthol mouth feel. Nice use of spice. bvc (260), Kenmore, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2009 12oz bottle from suzygreenberg. Clear orange amber with small white head. Light spice on the nose but mostly big purée pumpkin an some white bread toast aroma. Flavor is more on the vegital pumpkin side with spice making an apperance but missing a bit in either the body or rounding out of the overall flavor. Don’t get me wrong though, this is better than what I can get locally, but the Willamsburg is killer! SuzyGreenberg (1337), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Golden amber tinted copper color with a slight haze. Good, full head of foam. Minimal retention and lacing.
Cinnamon and nutmeg mingle with allspice and a slight scent of pumpkin. Good malty notes here.
This one’s a keeper!
Very nice pumpkin flavor mixes with the cinnamon and nutmeg. Good malty backbone. Sweet, yet spicey. Good balance.
Nice and creamy mouthfeel. Good medium body, like this style should be, IMO. Great carbonation level, almost perfect.
Very drinkable. I’d love to have access to this on a regular basis.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 7, 2009 This beer is a clear copper-orange color with a medium thin off-white head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon aroma. Medium body with flavors of pumpkin, malt, ginger and other spices. The finish is all pumpkin pie flavors. Overall a tasty pumpkin beer. nimbleprop (844), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Scored this as an extra via trade. Let it be known, I am very skeptical of pumpkin beers. 12oz bottle pours a transparent orange, amber with a wispy white head that faded quick. Cold, the aroma was of raw pumpkin. Once it warmed up the spice came through the nose, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, with a hint of alcohol. Flavor was sweet, caramel malts, caramel sugar, squash, spices. Finish is sticky. All in all, a pretty good pumpkin beer. Very drinkable. Snojerk321 (1945), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 28, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a lightly hazed faint copper color with a frothy off white head, light lacing. Nose holds some nice pumpkin and clove spice with some nutmeg and cinnamon in there as well. Mostly cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate, finish is very creamy.....good stuff! BrianDorry55 (117), Spring Hill, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2009 12oz bottle from Woodys in Franklin, TN. Pours burnt orange, thin white head and lots of carbonation. Beautiful aroma of pumpkin pie, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Im a sucker for anything pumpkin...there is tons of spicy pumpkin pie flavor here...it would be amazing if not for an offputting metallic aftertaste. The mouthfeel is very nice: medium, warm, and a bit sticky. Overall i like it. And i love pumpkin!
