Jun 10, 2007 Updated: Aug 24, 200912 oz. Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a whitish-yellow head. Aroma is of faint pumpkins and something else sweet. Taste is very strange until I realize the "drink by date" is two months ago. damn. must try this one again. SECOND TRY. +0.3

Jun 9, 2007 first time i had this it mustve been too fresh because it was too hoppy and not enough spices were present. after letting another one sit for a while the spices came out nicely a the hops faded. however, i would still say it was a bit heavy on the potent spices...ie clove and nutmeg and not enough cinnamon or actual pumpkin flavor. still decent, but ive had better.

does not count  May 29, 2007 My favorite pumpkin ale. I feel that some pumpkin ales are over-spiced, but this one is perfectly balanced in my opinion. A nice amount of real pumpkin flavor with just enough cinnamon and nutmeg bite.

Apr 30, 2007 Updated: Oct 6, 2008Bottle. Poured a copper color, medium white head. Aroma reminiscent of pumpkin carving, with added nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor is spicy pumpkin, smooth and yet spicy from start to finish. Nice contribution, though not my favorite pumpkin ale.

Mar 25, 2007 First off, I’m a sucker for spicy fall beers, especially pumpkin ales. I like nutmeg in my beer too. Cinnimon never hurts either, along with allspice, and all those other spices that end up in beers like these. That beeing said, this pumpkin ale is the bomb. Awesome fall sessioner.

Mar 3, 2007 slightly hazey pale with a large white head. The aroma is heavy pie spices with some pumpkin and caramel. The flavor is nutmeg, cinnamon and some caramel, heavy spice. Medium body with a heavy spicey bitterness.

Feb 18, 2007 Overall a solid pumpkin ale. I liked the way the beer was still extremely well spiced, but it had more than a hint of pumpkin. Complex, and had that smutty bite.

Feb 14, 2007 This is the first of three pumpkin beers we reviewed this night, and we did well to start with this one. It pours a light amber color with a small, fizzy white head. Hazy body. Fully diminishing head. It appeared to be bottle conditioned. Aroma was decidely colorful, with notes of ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Pumpkin pie was also noted. Initial taste was moderately bitter, ramping up to a heavy bitter finish with a long duration. Light on the palate, it left an oily feel behind with fizzy, lively carbonation. Sean was initially hesitant about the pumpkin beers, but turned out that he liked this one the best. Some notes from the review were: It’s got a bite -- Ian; I taste the spice -- Sean; Hoppiness -- Sean; I would drink this again -- Anonymous
