Commercial Description:
Brewed with Pumpkin and Spices(Cinnamon,Nutmeg,Cardamom,Cloves). This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is heartier, spicier, and more caramelly and pumpkiny than its faint brethren! Perfect finisher on a cool autumn night, or match it up with a slice of pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. If you don't agree this is the mother of all pumpkin ales, then you just don't like mothers!

This is an excellent pumpkin beer. It’s aroma is roasted sweet pumpkin with a nose of cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar. Lots of lace on the glass. Worth a second pint. It is not the best pumpkin beer, but it comes darn close. What is it doing out in August??

The aroma is nice with lots of spices and pumpkin with caramel malt. The appearance is amber with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall I like it very well.

12 oz. bottle from Once Upon a Vine. Clear red pour with a small quickly disappearing fizzy head. Aroma is pumpkin, caramel and spice. Taste is pumpkin, spice (cinnamon predominantly), alcohol. Medium body.

One of the most amazing pumpkin beers i’ve had. The aroma is full of pumpkin and spice, almost like sniffing a pumpkin pie, the flavor doesn’t dissapoint ethier, the flavor is pretty much as if you put pumpkin pie and cake in a blender and liquified it. This is amazing stuff here!

Pours a nice rich amber orange with a offwhite cream head. Looks yummy. Nose smells like banana bread-lots of spice and a earthy-ness from the pumpkin. Body is luscious and smooth. Just the right amount of carbonation, smooth and slightly sticky. This beer is rich with flavor-not overly sweet though. Malty taste, pumpkin earthy, nutmeg for sure. A little wateriness on the finish, but overall the body is nice. A nice job bringing out the pumpkin and spices and making it work with this heavier beer. Lots going on here.

12oz bottle. ruby brown color with thin to medium tan head. fantastic aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves (pumpkin obviously). cinnamon spicey taste with caramel, vanilla and light hops. slick medium palate. the list of pumpkin ales I’ve had is relatively short at this point - but this has to be the best of them.

Rich, sweet, spicy aroma, light vanilla. As I swelter in the Hell of Florida August, this makes me think of cold nights in a NYC or Cleveland pub, and makes me look forward to autumn. Medium tartness, a little parched grain, moderately sweet. Some faint chocolate notes. The spice isn’t overdone or over brewed. Medium light body. Very interesting. This is one of the few pumpkin ales that I’ve had that I could actually drink more than one of.
