Aug 17, 2008 Wow, this beer is awesome! Just like the menu said, it tastes like pumpkin bread right off the bat. There is the perfect balance of malt and pumpkin flavor and just the right sweetness. It’s the best pumpkin beer I’ve tasted, no wonder why I’ve matched it with my Chimay white rating.

Aug 17, 2008 I am not a huge fan of pumpkin beers, but I would have to say that this is the best one I have had so far. Really strong aroma, spices, cinnamon, brown sugar, and pumpkin. Good flavor. Actually really smooth and easy to drink, didn’t seem like 9% beer to me. Good stuff. Can’t say I would drink a ton of these, but very good for something different. Worth a try.

Aug 16, 2008 On tap pours a clear copper ’pumpkin’ color with a orange like head. The aroma on this beer is awesome. I can smell pumpkin spices of cinnamon and nutmeg with crust in the background. After smelling this I taste a pumpking pie in a glass. I taste the spices with full pumpkin flavor throughout. Mouthfeel is medium with a good amount of carbonation. Overall this is easily my favorite pumpkin ale. The combo of smells and flavors combine to make drinking this a true pumpkin pie in a glass. I need more!

Aug 15, 2008 22oz bottle. Medium orange hue with a moderate head, semi-transparent. Intense cinnamon-nutmeg aroma. The taste is equally intense, not unlike pumpkin pie. The body isn’t quite as thick as some of the Pumpkin Ales I’ve had, which is a good thing in this case. Comes off quite quite easy drinking, with a sweet natural aftertaste. This is certainly one of the best Pumpkin beers you can find.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle. Hazy orangish copper with a fine head and good lacing. Aroma is pumpkin, nutmeg, some other spices, and brown sugar. Reminds me of Autumn and the trees changing colors. Really digging this aroma. Flavor is mostly sweet but I can taste some bitterness which makes me think of hops although I couldn’t pick any up on the aroma. Palate is medium bodied, very smooth, moderate carbonation, and leaves a little aftertaste which makes a second sip inevidable. Alcohol is well hidden but is slightly warming a few seconds after swallowing. Expectations exceeded.

Aug 11, 2008 Another beer I sampled on tap at Max’s Taphouse in Baltimore. The beer had a very clear, light amber-orange color with a short-lived, barely visible white head. A rich pumpkin and spicy aroma with brown sugar and molasses shining through along with a touch of hops. A sweet flavor dominated by brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin tones, with a subtle ending bitterness. The beer was wet and thinner with adequate carbonation, but not a substantial mouthfeel.
