2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20Pours a deep orange caramel color with medium off-white head, minimal lacing. Aroma of pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, and multiple other spices. Flavor matches well, but just doesn’t come together right. It ends up tasting lot a thin mess of a beer that doesn’t blend well. Not the biggest pumpkin beer fan, but this isn’t much of a pumpkin beer either.

Bright clear orange-amber with an off white head and substantial lacing. This beer actually smells like pumpkin pie, and tastes like it as well, but with booze. Lots of pumpkin to go along with the spice. Medium bodied; a little dry. Very nice.

Ohh damn that’s good. I can’t believe its beer. Just what you were looking for in an awesome pumpkin brew. Man this one will put you in Fall on an unseasonably cool day in the middle of Spring in Texas.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Rich, buttery, malty, creamy pumpkin aroma. Pumpkin colored, with a rapidly dissapating thin head. Similar to the nose, this beer tastes creamy on the palate, with the pumpkin shining through as well as a bit of spice (cinnamon predominates). Lightly carbonated and a bit light compared to what the aroma suggests. Alcohol is well hidden. Unique, nice take on the style.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
taken from notes - 750 ml bottle yasted at Sloshfest - thank you Jeffrey. Pours a weird kind of yellow-orange (coppery) with a decent white creamy head. Aroma of spices, a lot of cinammon, some nutmeg and cloves. Light body with taste notes of carrot & pecan pie (?!)... Weird but OK.
1.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 1/20
Smells very strange. Yes I know pumpkin of course. Taste is really good but the taste is very off. The aftertaste is left for a while. According to me, this beer is undrinkable. This is the first beer ever I every had to pour out. I know many love this beer, but it was not for me.

Incredibly good pumpkin ale -- and I’m not a big pumpkin fan! Strong spicy scent reminiscent of pumpkin pie. Taste continues this theme, with strong and spicy nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin notes over a solid and sweet malty base. Spice notes linger nicely. This is just Good. Even the pour is orange colored! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

A- Pours a clear amber orange.
S - Smells like a scratch and sniff pumpkin sticker(in a good way). Lots of allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon. Bready pumpkin.
T - Well...it taste like pumpkin pie. I can actually taste pumpkin in this. The allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon are bold but not overpowering. The spicy hops balance out the sweetness. Do I taste a dollop of cool whip?Mouthfeel is full and creamy. Excellent carbonation. The aftertaste is...pumpkin pie.
This is what I have been waiting for. If you’re looking for a pumpkin beer that isn’t watered down spice and actually tastes like pumpkin, seek this out and don’t turn back. This is what a pumpkin beer should taste like.
