Oct 12, 2006 (Bottle (best before 12/06) from Glen Beverage (NH)) Full of pumpkin-pie spiciness...Pours rather hazy yellowish amber with about 2 fingers of biscuit head. Aroma fairly spicy - nutmeg and other pumpkin pie spice. Sloppy, webby lacing. Mouthfeel fairly smooth, a bit prickly on back end. Tastes more of the spice than of pumpkin, although there is some pumpkin in there. Pretty decent fall treat.

Oct 8, 2006 Best by 01/07. The beer pours to a lightly glowing copper body with a creamy white head. Nice lacing, even in a shaker. The aroma is nicely full of pumpkin flesh and light spices with cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavor is very malty. Like roasted pumpkin flesh with allspice. Extremely spiced. Malty palate.

Oct 4, 2006 Bottle. Pours amber with a white head, and lively carbonation. Very assertive aroma of pumpkin spices..nutmeg and cinnamon. Flavor is pretty much the same, but there is a british pale ale maltiness hiding behind those spices. Spicy hop finish, with some grassiness and cinnamon bite. Pretty darn solid. I enjoyed this more than the DFH Punkin. Yet another good beer from Smuttynose.

Oct 4, 2006 Thanks to Immy for this 12 oz beauty. What a huge foamy white head atop this orange-amber brew. Finally, a Pumpkin ale that actually smells like pumpkin and spice with notes of grass. Very malty, pumpkin spice flavor. Medium bodied. Mostly smooth but a little rough on the edges. Probably my favorite in this category.

Oct 4, 2006 12-oz,; thanks, BeachBum25! This is definitely one of the better pumpkin ales I’ve tried. Pours a big bright amber/orange with frothy, moussy/bubbly white head that runs away as soon as your back is turned. Nice pumpkin/coriander nose; very pie-like. Crisp attack and nice crisp hop finish; they really tried to make a classic APA out of this with some extra holiday cargo, rather than just doctoring up an overly malty autumn beer and calling it a pumpkin ale. I would actually drink this beer any month of the year pretty happily. Nice!

Oct 2, 2006 Sample at Sleepy Bear tasting 09/30/06 - Aroma is nutmeg, cinnamon and other pumpkin pie spices. Pours light orange with a medium head and good lacing. Flavor is a artifical tasting match to aroma with some malt in the aftertaste. Palate is sticky. What can I say, it’s a pumpkin beer.
