Bottle. This definitely isn’t my favorite style at all. However, I decided to grab a 6 of these. For a pumpkin beer, not bad at all. One of the better pumpkin beers I have ever tried. Pours a hazy orange color with no head. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, spice, and cinnamon. Taste is all the same. Almost too much pumpkin flavor though, couldn’t really taste the other flavors. Decent beer though.

courtesy of tilley4 This one belongs up there with the best of pumpkin beers, and certainly is in my top 5 for the pumpkin style. Pours copper - orange with white head. Aroma is of course of pumpkin with a blend of other spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, clove) with light caramel. Overall everything, it left a nice sweet nose. Taste, not flooded with pumpkin but really well balanced with the other spices so none really come more across than the other. The mouthfeel was amazing with a light dough / butter cream palate enhanced by the spices, mostly cinnamon. Medium carbonation with nice tingly palate and a warming after taste.

Bottle received via trade with Mr. Rain (thanks!). Poured amber/orange with a little bit of carbonation. Aroma is excellent, nutmeg, clove, pepper and of course a little pumpkin as well. Flavor also well done, rich and thick mouthfeel and almost like taking a bite of fresh pie. This is probably the closest pumpkin beer I’ve had that could pass for the true flavor of pumpkin pie. Give this one a try if you can get it.

Bottle courtesy of Beastiefan2k poured a clear dark orange with a lingering ring of light amber foam. Aromas of cinnamon, nutmeg, light carmel and light pumpkin. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and a hint of pumpkin with a smooth spiced finish.

12oz. bottle, with thanks to Gregis. Pours a clear golden orange, with a quickly dissipating tan head, minimal retention and lacing. Aroma is pumpkin, cinnamon, and allspice. Flavor is more of the same, with more sweetness. Interesting, but lacking more dimension than I’d hope, although not surprising since its a Pumpkin. Decent for the style, but finding I’m not a huge fan of this genre. Thanks Greg!

One of the best pumpkins I’ve tested. You can nicely taste the pumpkin; not mild but not overpowering or too sweet. Nice overall brew. The only other pumpkin that I’ve found similar is Weyerbacher.

Clear orange-red body, thin cream head. Pumpkin spice nose, sweet and sugary. Body with potent cinnamon, caked nutmeg and pumpkin. Robust and rich without being syrupy. Good.
