Autumn Works Pumpkin
Boston Beer Works - Canal Street

A: crystal clear; bronze in color; 1 finger off white head that receded to a thin collar; no lacing;

S: cinnamon is predominant with nutmeg and all spice in the background;

T: cinnamon is really all I can taste; very mild bitterness on the finish;

M: medium bodied; moderate carbonation; lightly dry finish;

O: most pumpkin beers don't have any pumpkin flavor - they only taste like pumpkin pie spice; this one only tastes like 1 of the pie spices - cinnamon; it looked good, but the flavor wasn't there.

 

A- hazy orange with a white head
S- nutmeg and LOTS of cinnamon
T- Cinnamon overpowers a bit, there might be a slight tang at the end
F- Lively
O- a bit heavy on the cinnamon, otherwise a good bit of pumpkin. With less cinnamon it could be great.

Yay cans... but not expecting much, as most brewerys do poorly with pumpkin, and the stuff this brewery cans/bottles has been poor. At least their beers at the brew house are fairly good. BUt, gotta get the rest of the pumpkin beers out of the way.

Pours a big fizzy 2 finger head that does fade pretty quickly though, no real lacing, hazy coppery orange color.

Nose just oozes horrible, umm, what's the opposite of aroma, death? It's like my nose just took the cinnamon challenge and lost, with also a rotting fermented gourd, and 10 year old nutmeg, and other stale spices. It bleeds out a peppery mess with syrupy gushes of ummm syrup. Yet, it still manages to sneak in some pine sap, I don't know how they do it! Make it so friggen bad without being infected.

Taste, oh man, I just want to get this damn beer out of the way, I'm so sad pants on this so far, wow... I just shivered at how horrible this is!!!!!!! Again the cinnamon challenge bursts into my mouth like I had pustules of allergic infection waiting to explode. There is ginger, yet somehow they managed to make ginger taste like garden shed. They claim real pumpkin, which I don't necessarily doubt, I just think the mistook a pumpkin for a rotting gourd stuffed with stale candy syrup that some badger had chewed up a little and left a little present behind for them to include in the beer.

Oh GOD! As if it couldn't get worst, it just sticks to my mouth and constantly reminds my taste buds how bad it was, like a hobo making camp in your shed and stinks up the entire neighborhood but you can't get rid of him because of some stupid squatters law or something.

Well, I'm now going to get as far away from this beer as I can. Pouring it down the drain doesn't do it justice as I feel bad for my poor septic system. I'm going to bring it down the street and pour it into the swamp where it can torture the damn mosquitoes next year. Then scrape every taste bud out of my mouth since I don't want those same ones dying a slow painful death and just end it quickly. Maybe I can put some gasoline in my mouth and burn all of the horridness out!

Had to add this beer. According to the brewery's website, it's been around since 1992, and I checked all the other pumpkins to see if it was there but I didn't see it.
pours a brown copper, light bodied with a white head that is thin and doesn't last forever.
I immediately smell the pumpkin spices. Most notably the cinnamon.
The taste matches the smell, mostly cinnamon, then nutmeg and a hit of actual pumpkin.
It's light in body, making it a very drinkable beer.
This is a nice pumpkin ale, but for me, who considering pumpkin ales are my favorite and have reviewed a good deal of them, this one isn't as complex as some of my favorites. I love the spice, but I'd prefer a bit more actual pumpkin in the flavor profile.
