sinkr (212), Lusby, Maryland, USA Oct 13, 2008 Bottle->wine glass (all they had): Pours virtually no head atop a clear, amber body. Aroma of nutmeg and clove. The body is medium, texture is thin, lively carbonation, and an astringent finish. The flavor’s duration is long, moderately acidic, and lightly bitter. rugbydude05 (280), Kew Gardens, New York, USA Oct 12, 2008 12 oz bottle, pours a transparent rusy golden color. Aroma is very pleasant, of pumpkin and spice, also sweet with mild malty and hoppy characteristics. Taste reflected the spicy aroma, and feels kind of cool on the palate. Smooth going down with no aftertaste. Good option. JB175 (1654), Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 12, 2008 Golden color with a medium head. Aroma of light pumpkin, lots of malt. Flavor is light pumpkin, spice, rather mild. OK, but only average in a sub-par style. j12601 (1151), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Oct 11, 2008 On tap at the Beechtree. Wonderful pumpkin pie aroma with hints of clove, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The big aroma peters out a little bit in the mouth as the promises of pumpkin fall a little short in the flavor category, but the ale itself is still rather tasty. PilsnerPeter (2598), Flushing, New York, USA Oct 9, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy orange with a wispy off white head. The aroma is sofly sweet, along with toasted pale malt undertones- has a touch of crystal as well. Sweet squash, vanilla, clove and cinnamon are all there, but minimal. Mildly spicy. Has a velvety feel, with evident toasted pale malt upfront which precedes mild cinnamon and clove in the middle, followed with a toasted, peppery finish. Not much pumpkin character comes through, and the spices are there, yet remains homogeneous and predominately peppery. Still, it’s not bad. joeymacaroni (181), West Chester, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 4, 2008 pours deep golden-orange with fluffy white head. aroma of freshly-baked pumpkin pie (or pie filler) with a light fruity note and spice. Flavor is heavy spice, pumpkin, roasted malt, and a slight floral bitterness to finish it up.maybe some caramel apple as well. Aftertaste is spice and floral hops with slight malt. medium carbonation, slightly oily, soft, viscous, creamy. pretty good and highly drinkable! DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is medium sweet, pumpkin, nutmeg, a little cinnamon. Orange gold body, off-white head. Taste is very pleasant of pumpkin and nutmeg. Not too sweet, not too spicy. Oakes (8058), gone rambling, Vietnam Oct 3, 2008 Orangey-amber colour. Caramel aroma is lightly cinnamony, nutmeggy. Fairly smooth palate has lots of nutmeg, a hint of bitterness. Clean, well-balanced character if not terribly distinctive.
