argo0 (6145), Washington DC, USA Oct 18, 2005 (12oz bottle) Clear amber body with off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, nutmeg, some clove, pumpkin, ginger. Taste is medium sweet, nutmeg, some ginger, pumpkin. Slightly bitter herb in the finish. Watery light-medium body. CaptainCougar (4624), Rockville, Maryland, USA Nov 25, 2005 Pours a clear copper with a thin off-white head. Aroma has some mild pumpkin and cinnamon with a hint of toasty malt. Body starts sort of thin with a touch of sugary sweetness and pumpkin flavor. A drinkable beer, but could really stand to be more concentrated. hopdog (4525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 23, 2005 Bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis (and also brought over by PWalk), thanks! Poured a medium and see through clear orange color with a smaller sized white head. Smells like pumpkin pie - pumpikn and spices. I liked this aroma as there it wasn’t artificial like some pumpkin beers I’ve had. Tastes of vanilla, lighter pumpkin and lighter spices. Thinner body. hopscotch (4433), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Oct 4, 2005 Bottle... Clear, burnt orange ale with a large, creamy, off-white head. Excellent retention. Spicy nose with notes of nutmeg, butter, cinnamon, brown sugar and pumpkin with a hint of latex. Perfectly balanced, spicy flavor. Thin, though. Light-bodied and bone dry with soft carbonation. acrdz (4248), Pennsylvania, USA Sep 15, 2007 Bottle. Fresh. Perfectly clear amber and red apple colored body with a thin white head. Pretty nice nose of holiday spiced apple cider, marashino cherries, and only a small, candied sweet pumpkin note. Flavor is pasty and a little bland, with some crisp apples, some cider, some cherries and again that same candied pumpkin flavor, finishing with a tart peach skin note.
