redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Oct 21, 2007 Sweet and spicy aromas, cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel malts in the aroma. Pours golden amber. Very spicy, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin pie, a little heavy on the spices but still a very good pumpkin beer. I like this one, good beer to finish off the night with! Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 20, 2007 Poured a tawny-copper-orange bright hue with a medium-sized fluffy cream white head. Nose fresh gourds and fragrant, but not overwhelming spices. Probably the most enjoyable and well-balanced pumpkin beer I have ever tasted. patty26 (95), New York, New York, USA Oct 20, 2007 Pours a light gold and looks very much like a pale lager to these eyes. Small thin head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is very spicy from the pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon. The taste is a very distinct pumpkin flavor with a hint of cinnamon. I liked this one a lot more than I expected. gardyloo (12), USA Oct 19, 2007 this beer is pretty friggin fantastic. i’ve had it twice now and had different thoughts each time, so i’m not all sure about its consistency but i enjoyed it thoroughly each time. has a little sweet taste to it, strong cinnamon flavor but lots else going on. StompBrockmore (300), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Oct 19, 2007 12oz. bottle - pours a deep orange shade, slight cloudy. Small head.Aroma is wonderful...full of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin spice with some slightly citrusy hopping going on in the background. Love it. Flavour is a little less, and the body is a little thin, but it is a very drinkable beer. Fairly sweet taste, followed by cinnamon, nutmeg and clove spicing moving toward a lightly bitter finish where some of those hops come forward. Overall, this brew is pretty intense with spices, but I like it. Too bad I spilled half the bottle on myself. doublebock (196), USA Oct 18, 2007 Golden-orange hazy color with miminal head. Nice cinnamon/pumkin/orange aroma. First taste is orange, then cinnamon spice and the finish has a nice kick of cloves, rocbyter (902), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA Oct 18, 2007 Malt aroma with a slight amount of spices. Cloudy dark golden color with a small white head. Sweet taste in the beginning. Finishing with a lot of cinnamon. performula (147), Triangle Area, North Carolina, USA Oct 18, 2007 Got this on a trade from mcox90. Poured a cloudy orange. Little head. Smell of Pumpkin, Nutmeg, maybe clove. One of the more bitter Pumpkin Ales I’ve had. Pumkin Ales are hit and miss. Not a bad example but not the best.
