Sep 4, 2009 Bottled with love on 8/21/2009 - FRESH! Just appeared in Kansas City, and boy am I glad.
Pours a clear, rich copper color with a perfect off-white head. Third pumpkin in 2 hours...either they’re growing on me, or I put them in the right order! Aroma is a crazy explosion of nutmeg with some cinnamon, pumpkin pie, and a bit of anise/licorice.
Flavor is just a touch strong on the cinnamon and allspice, drowning out the obvious pumpkin undertones. Unlike the O’Fallon, this one really tastes like pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix and evaporated milk. Medium body, medium carbonation, dry, spicy finish. Honestly, could have been close to a 4 if only a little less bold.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle. One of the pumpkins that really gets it right, truly pie-like with all the appropriate spices. Pretty sweet from the fairly sizable malt, but appropriately so, dessert-like despite all the spices, quite rich.

Jun 16, 2009 One of the better pumplin beers I have had. Even with some age on it. Great spices with some pumpkin flesh too. Nice sweet balance with brown sugar to go with the pie spices. Nice.

Jun 14, 2009 Bottle at PPRBSG 09. Pours a mostly clear filtered look with a filmy white head. Aroma is typical all spice, pumpkin character, clovey and cinnamon, nutmeg, etc with light caramel malts, hints of toffee, and metallic copper hints. Ok pumpkin flavor, sweet, orangey caramel, toasted malts, fruity esters, allspice, and hints of pine and pumpkin pie. Ok.

Jun 6, 2009 Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering. Pours a clear orange with a thin white head. Aromas of clove and cinnamon and light pumpkin spice. Flavor follows the nose mostly, ending with a crisp light bitterness.

Jun 5, 2009 Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours a clear orange. Aroma of sweet pumpkin pie. Some crust too, but mostly pie. Flavor of cinnamon, sweet crust, and lots of pumpkin spices. Quite good (especially considering it’s out of season). One of my favorite pumpkin beers.

May 31, 2009 Updated: Oct 13, 2009PPRBSG. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Pumpkin pie and vanilla and cinnamon clove notes. Very nice pumpkin brew doesn’t taste artificial at all.
Had this on draft in KC, i rated it 3.8-9, so i will just leave this rating. Good stuff. Actually i think Eugene brought the bottle i rated at Peters Gathering.

May 30, 2009 12 oz. bottle via trade with beastiefan2k - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a thin off white head. Aroma is spicy, but not much pumpkin. Again, flavor is spice and light pumpkin. Medium body. It’s no Southern Tier Pumpkin, but it’s not bad. Thanks Eugene.
