Review from 2/22/12-on tap at Blind Tiger in NYC: pours dark brown with a small tan head that left decent lacing.
Mild nose, it was sweet, with caramel, grains, cinnamon toast, light floral hops, herbs, and then what seems like yam or pumpkin; started reading the profile at the bar after a few sips and the ingredient list was quite a combo that worked well together.
Tastes of sweet malt, cinnamon, floral hops, caramel, light syrup, roasted grains, lemon, coriander, light spices like pepper, pumpkin, peat moss, grass and hay; very complex and flavorful, smooth and easy drinking, this is an odd mix in a very good way that was well balanced, yet nothing was overpowering which to me was a good thing.
Mouthfeel is rich, smooth and roasty, with nice citrus flavors, little to no carbonation, and a light body that goes down very easy.
Highly drinkable, this is a unique beer that hides the ABV well and goes down incredibly easy. A high recommendation if you can find this as it was just so damn smooth for s pumpkin beer that it needs to be tried.

Amber and copper appearance. Aroma was very much fall, had the pumpkin and yam thing going for it.
Relatively light malt body to get the Thanksgiving stuff across without being heavy. Every other fall beer seems to be a stout, so this went a lighter direction and I guess it works if this is what you're into. I can't get too jazzed about a pumpkin beer. The birch bark has a drying effect on the mouthfeel. Better for it.
