Pours a light orange color that is fairly clear – not much head with light lacing and average carbonation. Dominate smell is sweet pumpkin spice. First taste is light, sweet, with pumpkin spice dominating. Mouthfeel is truly remarkable. This is not over spiced like a lot of pumpkin beers are.

Oct 4, 2008 pours deep golden-orange with fluffy white head. aroma of freshly-baked pumpkin pie (or pie filler) with a light fruity note and spice. Flavor is heavy spice, pumpkin, roasted malt, and a slight floral bitterness to finish it up.maybe some caramel apple as well. Aftertaste is spice and floral hops with slight malt. medium carbonation, slightly oily, soft, viscous, creamy. pretty good and highly drinkable!

Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma is medium sweet, pumpkin, nutmeg, a little cinnamon. Orange gold body, off-white head. Taste is very pleasant of pumpkin and nutmeg. Not too sweet, not too spicy.

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.

Hazy gold.
Abit spicy, a bit fruity, rather thin.
Pepper and cinnamon over a fruity beer.
I have problems with a few beer styles - kölsch, mild and, now, pumpkin ale. They don’t thrill me at all. True to style for all I know, and unlikely to harm anyone if consumed in moderation.

Oct 3, 2008 Draft at Blind Tiger, with Reuben & Jen, as part of their pumpkin Promo. 15 lines i believe. All sampled as 5oz pours. Squash, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Decent.
