Bottle courtesy of foureyedgeek. Amazing pumpkin pie aroma with all the spices, cinammon in particular - can’t really say much else about that. Clear amber-brown with thin off-white lacing head. Medium-thick body with medium carbonation. Starts with a dry spiciness with awesome pumpkin pie spices and sweetness infused in a light amber ale. Light floral hops and bitterness. Pumpkin spices throughout with spicy finish and mild apple sweet finish.

Jul 20, 2008 Draught at St. Louis Brewery Schlafly. Pours clear amber with a spare, fizzy, off-white head, mostly diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, cookie, nutty), light hops (herbs), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and pumpkin. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

May 12, 2008 Courtesy of someone formerly known as Duane. Bright copper, no head. Aroma is very nice blend of the standard pumkin spices. Allspice, nutmeg and clove stick out the most. Flavor on par with aroma. Pumpkin is a little lacking, again par for the course for "pumpkin" beer. Not overbearing in any aspect, well done overall.

Apr 14, 2008 12 oz bottle from acknud! Nose of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves; not as heavily spiced to the nose as some other pumpkin ales are; clear copper with a small straw head; flavor has some spices, light sweetness, pumpkin, and a dry pumpkiny finish. Excellent pumpkin ale!

Apr 12, 2008 This is one of the best pumpkin ales I have had yet. Thanks STLWill. Orangish copper pour with a whitish head that lingers. Smells just like homemade pumpkin pie with the cinnamon and nutmeg present! Delicious! The taste is basically the same as the aroma. Nice and sweet pumpkin pie.

Apr 11, 2008 It’s never too late or early in the season for pumpkin beers. Sampled from 12-oz bottle, shared by STLWill. Pours a semi-clear copper brew with a thin off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and thin ring. Aroma of pumpkin pie filling, nutmeg, cinnamon, a touch of clove and even some vanilla. Taste is smooth, creamy with more Thanksgiving pumpkin pie flavors with a bit of heavy nutmeg. Finish is semi-sweet, a touch of spice and no bitter-aftertaste. One of the better pumpkin beers I’ve tried this year.
