Aug 28, 2008 Bottle. My second "pumpkin" beer, and quite different from the DFH brew that I tried before. This beer focuses much more on the spice side of things, much like pumpkin pie. Spicy aroma and flavor, tastes like liquid pumpkin pie in a glass..with a generous amount of cinnamon. A novelty of a beer for sure, but worth the experience.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle. Clear orange pour with thin head. Aroma and flavor were pure pumpkin pie with some alcohol mixed in. Somewhat light body. Not bad, but not all that impressive either.

Aug 26, 2008 Pours a copper color with a very small white head which went away pretty quickly. Aroma is very strong of pumpkins with a hint of vanilla and smells very similar to ginger bread. Flavor begins with the warm feeling of the alcohol mixed with the pumpkin taste. When this subsides, your left with the ginger bread flavor lingering with a bit of a bitter bite at the very end. Mouth feel is medium and is perfect for the beer. This beer is one of the better "halloween" beers I have tried in a long time and does what very well at what its aimed for, tasting like fall. Very unique and definitely a beer to give a try but be prepared for the overwhelming taste and aroma of pumpkin bread mixed with ginger bread.

Aug 26, 2008 If you took water, yeast, wheat, a powdered coffee creamer and orange dye and let ferment for a couple months you will appear to have a pumpkin ale that lacks real pumpkin.

Aug 25, 2008 Updated: Aug 26, 2008Smells just like pumpkin rolls, including the cream filling; vanilla, pumpkin and spice. Spicy, sweet flavor. Kinda weird. Odd bready/cakey aftertaste with spices.

Aug 25, 2008 22 oz bottle. Pour is orange with a smallish head. Aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon, and kind of a weird sawdust smell. Vegetable flavor, with some biscuity malts. One of the most flavorful pumkin beers I’ve ever had. Almost to the point of cloying. A little unbalanced for me.
