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.

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!

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.

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.

Oct 3, 2008 Bottle in NYC.
Hazy gold.
Abit spicy, a bit fruity, rather thin.
Pepper and cinnamon over a fruity beer.
I have problems with a few beer styles - kölsch, mild and, now, pumpkin ale. They don’t thrill me at all. True to style for all I know, and unlikely to harm anyone if consumed in moderation.

Oct 3, 2008 Draft at Blind Tiger, with Reuben & Jen, as part of their pumpkin Promo. 15 lines i believe. All sampled as 5oz pours. Squash, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Decent.

Oct 2, 2008 Bright orange. Thick creamy off-white head. Medium-spiced, coppery malts, fairly strong pure pumpkin aroma. Good carbonation level, soft, gentle and nice. Medium body, not too spiced and not too vegetal. Good dose of hops to balance the squash sugars. Nice, mellow, and balanced.

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange amber with a thick, creamy, long lasting off-white head that never went away. Nose is primarily caramel malt with an undertone of grassy hops, with just a bit of pumpkin in there, but not much. Taste is caramel malt up front with hints of nutmeg and cinnamon, with caramel sweetness emerging as the carbonation pushes past, only to quickly move to a combination of grassy hops, cinnamon and nutmeg, and a definite vegetal pumpkin note. Medium body, with medium carbonation.
