bonbright7 (173), Bellport, New York, USA Sep 21, 2007 Bottle. This poured well into a red/orange body with a decent head and a malty aroma sprang forward from it. It tasted lighter than I expected with elements of spice and pumpkin. To my surprise, my wife really liked it and she usually likes the darks beers better. This wasn’t great with Tilapia, but I will bet it is great with sandwiches and heros. hopdog (5535), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 20, 2007 On tap. Poured a medium orange color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of spicy pumpkin pie. A little bit of pumpkin candle too. Tastes of spicy pumpkin pie. performula (147), Triangle Area, North Carolina, USA Sep 19, 2007 This is not a Pumpkin Pie, but the blend is very nice. The Nutmeg/spices aren’t over powering the pumpkin or vice versa. Nor does this have a thick aftertaste like other pumpkin ales. Sweet tasting finish. This is a close second to the Weyerbacher IPA - P = pumpkin. DrHomolka (726), Columbus, Ohio, USA Sep 11, 2007 Bomber. Pours dark bronze with a rocky white head that lasts a long time. Aroma is yeasty, zesty, a touch of ginger. Not all that pumpkin pie like, honestly, just subtly so. Taste is better. Definite pumpkin pie flavor. Ginger, cinnamon, other spices. Medium bodied. More flavorful than most pumpkin beers I’ve had. It doesn’t have anything on Southern Tier’s, but it’s definitely better than almost every other pumpkin beer I’ve tried. thenick (742), North Bellmore, New York, USA Sep 9, 2007 Updated: Sep 19, 2007Bomber, shared with ArcaneApollo. Pours a beautiful deep orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is largely cinnamon and nutmeg with pumpkin at the end. Taste is spice up front, dissolving into a smooth finish with a pumpkin characteristic. Wonderful beer. MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Sep 6, 2007 Bomber. Clear orange color with a large head. Spare lacing and fair retention. Aroma of pumpkin, pie spice and yeast. Nutmeg and cinnamon come out strong in the taste. No cardamom (which is good). A bit of a thin texture. Spicy finish. Pretty good. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 5, 2007 Bottle sampled from capones. pours amber with a small off-white head. aroma of pumpkin and spices. the flavor is sweet, pumpkin, spices and moderate carbonation. Good brew. michael-pollack (2606), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 5, 2007 22oz. Bottle: Faint aroma of pumpkin and spices. Very weak scent. Poured orange in color with a small tan head that diminished quickly. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a little malt. Weak flavor, much like the aroma. Medium body. Thin, watery, but sticky texture. Lively carbonation. Sweet finish. Overall, weak all around.
