Jan 14, 2009 12 fl oz bottle. Pours golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is pumpkin sweet and quite spiced. Light bodied. Sweet vegetable, malty and solid coriander and ginger spiced flavoured. Holds mild bitterness and dry pumpkin finish. Fine brew - just not my thing.

Sep 5, 2008 Cask@GBBF2008 (my notes said ABV 5.1%). Slightly hazy yellowish orange colour, with small white head. Nice lace. Aroma is spices, some fruits and pumpkin pie. Flavour is very much the same, more spicy than of pumpkin though. Nothing that exciting.

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.

Aug 18, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Clear copper, lasting beige head. Definitely a spicy aroma. Lots of dried spice, nutmeg. I guess it’s a style you like or don’t. This is ok. I mean it’s interesting and the spice never runs away with it.

Sep 6, 2005 Lasting white head covers the shiny hazy orange hue. Huge gingerbread nose, not necessarily very malty despite Smuttynose being champions at that, just very perfumey, spicy, peppery and cinnamon indented with light mustard seeds. Oily medium body, small bubbled carbonation. Average balance, very spicy and incredibly simplistic, devoid of bitterness.

Sep 5, 2004 Updated: Oct 10, 2008Bottle (2004)... Sparkling clear, amber ale with orange highlights. Small, creamy, off-white head with good retention and Brussels lacing. The aroma is spicy and pumpkiny, but not overdone. Smells like a warm piece of Thanksgiving day pumpkin pie. The flavor is terrifically balanced. Not sweet, not bitter. Spicy, pumpkiny with just a whisper of salt. Medium-bodied with a very creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, spicy, lightly bitter finish. The best pumpkin ale I’ve tasted to date.
