Nice aroma. Pours orangey of course. Lots of spice. I rather liked it but for some reason I just like all pumpkin ales.

12 oz bottle. Bought a six pack at the local Shaw’s supermarket. Pours a pretty deep red orange color with a 1/2" white head. Huge spice nose with a fairly heavy palate.
Strong flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and some pumpkin. Much heavier than some other pumpkin ales I’ve had. Pretty good, just wouldn’t want a lot of them.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 noncaloric (684) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 1, 2008
Huge aroma: earth, grass, spices, especially nutmeg and allspice. Hazy amber orange, significant yellow-beige head leaves abundant lace. Initially bittersweet, grass and pumpkin, then turning towards tart orange juice with significant earthiness. The spices come to the fore in a lingering finish. Creamy on the front, clean in the finish, very quaffable.

POured a light orange color with a big white head. Aroma was of lots of nutmeg and a bit of biscut. Flavor was spices, then really hollow and watery in the middle and then a sweeter pie crust swallow, not horrible, but not everything fits together.

12oz. bottle. Tight white head, orange amber color, nice spice pumkin aroma. If this beer is too cold the spice and hops do not meld well. I you let it reach 50+ degrees it is drinkable. Not a bad pumpkin ale, but not great either

Amber with a small soft off-white head. Pumpkin nose, sweet and soft spiciness to it. Pretty decent pumpkin ale, not overly sweet, good spiciness. Lighter bodied, slight metallic note in the finish.
