4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a clear copper orange color with a lot of carbonation floating to the top of the glass but ceases in about 5-10 seconds as does the head. The scent is like a pumpkin pie with pureed pumpkin, cinnamon spice, and caramel. The taste is the best I’ve ever had in a pumpkin beer. It’s smooth and clean but with lots of flavor. Great tastes of pumpkin and spices that blended nicely together with the malts and hops used. It’s so good I almost want to go grab some cool whip to throw on top! A must try for pumpkin beer lovers!

Draught at Rattle & Hum NYC sept 2012. Hazy orange beer with an offwhite head. Nice spicy, pumpkin and cookies aroma. Cookies, spicy flavour. Really an unique and thrilling combination of tastes :-)

Bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper color with minimal head. The aroma was reminiscent of pie crust with evident spice. The flavor has strong spices like clove and nutmeg with a nice tree bark quality. The alcohol is evident with a mild burn. Unique and excellent overall.

Pours an orange-copper color. Aroma is bold and sweet like pumpkin bread. Very toasty. Flavor is sweet and bold with lots of pumpkin and spice flavor. Nice hoppy backbone. Very solid.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a bomber. Strong beery, spicey aroma - cloves and nutmeg. Tastes of pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves). Very sweet, I would peg it just shy of cloying. Low carbonation, and very smooth on the palate. Great for fall.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
2012 bottle. Pours a deep orange with blink-and-you’ll-miss-it lacing. Roasted pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, pie dough baking in the oven and some caramel all swirl together for a very sweet aroma. Big pumpkin taste with a pinch of nutmeg and a bit of bitter cinnamon. Slightly sticky texture with a great lingering aftertaste. Easily one of the best pumpkin beers out there.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
This is my final fall beer in the fridge. Bomber into goblet, clear dark orange-amber color with thin off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt, pumpkin pie and spices (nutmeg and cinnamon mainly). Taste is much the same, sweeter then aroma led on. Medium body, low carbonation and smooth. I can see why this is so popular, heavy pumpkin pie taste without being too heavy a beer. I shall try this again next year!

Wow, this blew me away while I was pouring this. I wasn’t expecting the light color and it smelled like pumpkin pies baking in the oven.
4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
2012 Vintage. Pumpkin orange in color. Clear. Some head. Very dominating pumpkin smell. Tons of all spice. Nutmeg. Very sweet. I don’t like pumpkin but this is really good...just a tad too sweet. I’m surprised at the alcohol content, it’s so flavorful it tastes like a soda.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice pumpkin ale from Southern Tier. Slightly sweet, not to spicey and a medium pumpkin flavor compared to other pumpkin beers I’ve tried. Pumpkin cotton candy in a bottle. I recommend.
