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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber brown with a huge creamy light tan head. Aroma is gigantic spice. Much more on the spice side than the pumpkin side which I can appreciate. Lots of ginger, cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, a smörgåsbord of holiday spice. Almost dusty in the way it pinches the nostrils. Flavor is much more rounded. Lots of sweet pumpkin mixed with the spices and making for a big pumpkin pie and spiced bread flavor. The spices in the nose especially help balanced the sweetness giving it a really nice dessert taste. Medium to full body and a soft carbonation. Really nice pumpkin beer

12oz bottle (Bottled with Love on 09 15 2009) served in a shaker. Dark amber pour with a light haze and a thin cap of tan foam. Minimal lacing. The aroma had strong notes of gingerbread and pie spices, also some sweet caramel. Sweet and malty. The flavor was like a gingerbread cookie. A nice mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel. Surprised that this is 8%. Full-bodied and softly carbonated. The spices run the show in this beer, but it isn’t cloying or annoying. I like it.

Bottle. Poured an amber orange with a darkish off-white head. Aroma was full of pumpkin pie notes with lots of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger accompanying the pumpkin. Flavor mirrors the aroma beautifully. A nice medium mouthfeel makes this by far my favorite pumpkin beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours dark amber little bubbly head. Pumpkin cinnamon and vanilla aroma. Great pumpkin flavor with an intense cinnamon. Nice carb. Makes me want to put whip cream on it.
