puzzl (2579), New York, New York, USA Nov 15, 2005 Aroma has a bit of nice pumpkin and spices, and flavor does as well, but unfortunately is a bit off tasting. Pretty watery too. sarah3961 (29), allston, Massachusetts, USA Nov 11, 2005 This beer smells like a pumpkin pie for the first few sips! I like that in a beer. After that it tastes like nothing special. It’s good to have around on tap in fall, but I don’t think I’ll cry when it goes away for the winter. TaktikMTL (2745), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Nov 7, 2005 Bouteille de 12 oz achetée au Cabot Annex Store à Waterbury Center, VT. Arôme: Odeur de gazon mouillé. Apparence: La couleur est ambrée légèrement voilée avec une moyenne densité de bulle. Absence de col et de dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de canelle et de citrouille. La durée de l’arrière goût est moyenne. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture minérale. L’effervescence en bouche est moyenne. Présence d’épices en arrière goût. (Rating #338) PBOYNY (316), Westchester, New York, USA Nov 7, 2005 This ale rocked, very spicy with hints of vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and of course pumpkin. This beer even smelled like a pumpkin, and is an excellent fall beer. walter (359), Staunton, Virginia, USA Oct 31, 2005 Bottle. Copper color with white head. Nose of sweet pumpkin, nutmeg, clove, and pepper balanced nicely with light malt and hops. Flavor was well balanced, not too much spice, with a nice crisp finish. A little light in body, but overall a tasty seasonal treat. I don’t take pumpkin ales to task like some; they’re kitschy, but that’s part of the fun. Drank this while carving a vampire pumpkin. What’s not to love? fatty (363), Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 29, 2005 Pours transluscent light orange with thin, dissipating offwhite head. Aroma of light pumpkin, pepper spice, clove. Light flavor of spice, clove, pumpkin, malt and hop. Smooth palate. One of the lighter pumpkin beers I’ve had. Parrothead (185), Ephrata, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 28, 2005 For some reason, I’m a sucker for seasonals like pumpkin beer. This one tasted like...pumpkin pie with a kick. Isn’t that what it’s suppopsed to taste like? Nice head, good body and the aroma, well, what can I say? Much, much better than my own homebrew attempt at pumpkin ale several years ago, which gained the nickname "Old Adhesive Tape." Ron (1002), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 23, 2005 One bottle from BOTW. Copper in color with a small white head. Cinnamon aroma. Not much pumpkin flavor in the palate with a hop finish was slightly bitter. I liked the Saranac Pumpkin ale much better.
