Bottle. Pours light orange with small one finger head. Smell is pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and a nice sweet bread quality. Taste is same. Mouthfeel is watery and little dry in the finish. Decent beer.

I think the bottle I had was a bit off. Decent but slightly skunky. Lots of spice and a little pumpkin. Eh.

Jul 5, 2008 Poured an orange color with a white head that left bits of lacing and remained throughout. Smell of pumpkin rind, pumpkin spice, and I think a bit of clove. Taste seems lighter than the nose, there is the taste of pumpkin rind, and some of the pumpkin spice, but seems pretty subdued; nutmeg is what dominates the taste, but thankfully it’s not too overpowering. Medium carbonation, and lighter side of medium bodied. Pretty solid beer for the fall, but I think one will do. Worth a try.

Jun 4, 2008 A mighty tastey brew! Pours a nice golden colour with a finger nail sized head. Aroma is very reminiscent of a fresh baked pumpkin pie, Wonderful garden taste and pumpkin spice all around.

May 12, 2008 Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey body with a small, off-white head. A nice pumpkiny hue!
Smell: Sweetish, cakey, pumpkin aroma. Some slight squashy, vegetal notes. Plenty of pumpkin pie spice blend in the nose.
Taste: Spicy-sweet, tangy pumpkin flavor. A bite of pound cake. Mild hop bitterness. Cumulative spiciness. Dash of vanilla-flavored sugar on the pumpkiny finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A fine pumpkin. It definitely doesn’t delve into the territory of imperialized pumpkin ales, but it still pleasant and plenty tasty.
