UPDATED: SEP 13, 2008 Bottle bought at Smith’s. Pours a clear amber color with a small off-white head. The aroma is very nice; sweet pumpkin notes, some toasted malts, some spices, cinnamon and cloves mostly. The taste is nice and relaxed; a full pumpkin flavor that is not overwhelming and mixes almost totally into the malt profile to create a nice smooth and toasted flavor. Some spices come to the fore and the finish is sweet and smooth. As usual, Uinta makes quality beers. A easy and quaffable drink, but also well crafted and tasty.

clear orange with little lacing under....no head. light pumpkiny aroma but a far cry from the robust spicy, pie-like aroma of many pumpkins. flavor is grainy with pumpkin, cornbread, pie crust and a hint of roasted nuts. light bodied.

Bottle from Liquor Mart. Pours a clear, filtered amber orange color with a dirty tan and slightly orange colored head. Oily pumpkin nose, slightly sugary, zero pulp, zero meat, more of a scented candle and soap character to the pumpkin. Not offensive, there’s no glaring flaws in the aroma, but it does come across as a bit simple and slightly artificial. Body is medium to light, dissolving without pause, leaving a thin, oily residue coating the mouth. Flavors aren’t very pronounced - mild, candied pumpkin, semi-sweet... a little sunflower seed and peanut oil noticed at times. Again, not terrible but certainly one-dimensional, missing the necessary heft and chewiness that a fall pumpkin beer requires, that fullness is absent.

Bottle...a clear copper body with a beige head that doesn’t last...sweet and sour pumpkin aromas...watery pumpkin flavor..not bad...but not good...thanks for the share NJDevilz69

Aroma is plastic like with some sour malt tones. Color is a bright dark gold with very good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is thin and spicy. Starting with a light body it goes down crisp. Finish is weak with a thin mouth feel and just a little spiciness and a hint of pumpkin for flavor. I don’t like it.

Poured a dark, amber color with a thick white head. The nose was spicy with cinnamon and nutmeg. The taste jumps right into a complex spiciness of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and allspice. The end was light and dry with slight cascade hops coming through. The finish was dry and spicy.

A good, but not great pumpkin beer. Seems rather thin and watery compared to some of the others I have sampled. Taste and aroma is mostly spice, with just a hint of pumpkin. Poured from a 12 oz bottle.

The idea was good... The sweetness of the beer completely overwhelmed subtle flavors.

GABF 2006: Light hazy golden color with a large off-white head. Light cinnamon and clove with a hint of pumpkin. Sweet malt with light spice and pumpkin notes.

Nutmeg and clove aroma; watery body with a fairly dry, tangy and astringent finish; a hint of honey, allspice, and clove in the flavor; no malt charactor; overall rather dull.
