Hazy orange. Gingerbread. 100% gingerbread flavor. Pumpkin becomes evident in the middle, towards the finish. Finishe a bit pepper, allspice. Really, it’s pretty good for a style that can go very wrong. On tap, Blind Tiger, NYC. Terminus (1955), Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Sep 30, 2007 Clear bronze, with a smallish head. Nice aroma of nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice and pumpkin. Flavor is pretty much the same, although it seems a bit thin. I like how there is some actual pumpkin flavor and not just a bunch of spices assaulting the palate.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2006 Sampled side by side with the Weyerbacher and liked the weyerbacher a lot better. This one pours a light orange with an ok lasting head, and some lacing. Aroma is of bland pumpkin spice- cinnamon, nutmeg and clove, with some other off phenols. Body and flavor is surprisingly light with more spicing, not as oily or rich as the weyerbacher. Finsih is li8ghtly bitter and dry. Slightly above average for a pumpkin ale, but not great. wilkie (1193), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 14, 2006 Bottle. Brownish, tad red, with small, off-white head. Aroma is faint, sweet malt. Flavor is very nice--with spice, good amounts of pumpkin flavor and a slight bitter aftertaste, hard to believe the ABV on this one, but it is a nice beer. heemer77 (4312), Savannah, Missouri, USA

The aroma was pumpkin with strong nutmeg. Pretty straightforward in the simple aroma. The taste was pumpkin rind with some nutmeg. There was also a Grape Nuts character. A nicely made brew. kp (8600), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

clear dark copper, whispy beige head, strong pumpkin aroma that dominates the trace of cinamon, good pumpkin flavor, nice sweetness, just enough cinamon and spices to add complexity without taking over,

sweet cinamon aroma and flavor, enough pumpkin to provide a backbone, pretty balanced between the pumpkin and spices upon warming

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 14, 2008 A nice mahogany body with a slightly off-white head. Aroma was of strong pumpkin pie notes. Cinnamon and nutmeg were strong as far as the spice notes. Flavor seemed to have a brown sugar quality to it. A nice smooth finsih.
