On tap at the brewery. Pours a deep copper with a thin head. Aroma is of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and other pumpkin type spices. Taste follows aroma with little carbonation. A solid, not too sweet, pumpkin ale.

Pours a clear copper color with a beige head. The smell is what you hope for in a pumpkin; nice blend of spices and pumpkin. The taste was good; a little more sour than I like, but the pumpkin and spices are there. Feel is a little thin for me and it finishes a little too dry. Not a bad pumpkin, but I have had way better.

Not bad. Slight pumpkin flavor with a hint of spice. If you want a simple pumpkin beer that does not overpower the senses, then it is for you.

Poured from a keg.
The color is bronze.
The beer smells of a light cinnamon and cloves. Mouth feel is medium with a dry finish. The first taste is light pumpkin up front with a dry faint cinnamon aftertaste.

Here is another beer scored as a single and set aside awaiting pic approval. It seems like I have to do it myself as far as pics are concerned. Ah well.
I Pop!ped the cap and began an aggro pour, resulting in two-plus fingers of fluffy, tawny head with decent retention, creating some nice sticky lacing as it fell. Color was a slightly hazy Deep Amber/Light Copper to Copper (SRM = > 13, < 17). Nose smelled of thee requisite spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and even a slight molasses-like sweetness. Mouthfeel was kind of thin and watery. The taste was spicy, slightly sweet and very evocative of pumpkin pie. Better than some, worse than others. Finish had a dryness inherent in using all of those spices.

10/21...pours amber copper, clear bright, white foamy top. Light pumpkin nose, subtle spices too. Sharp pumpkin taste, cinnamon/nutmeg/clove. Smooth, crisp, full body. Good from the bottle, great on tap at the brewery itself. Solid seasonal.
