I decided to give this a try and purchased two bottles from a singles selection.
Ichabod Ale pours a orangish amber hue with a moderate head and decent lacing.
The aroma is nice with hints of pumpkin, cinnamon & nutmeg.
The flavor starts out nicely with the aforementioned spices and pumpkin but it finishes watery and with just a bit of pumpkin and cinnamon.
Overall this is a decent beer but nothing overly exciting.

Had this on draught while out at a restaurant. A very drinkable pumpkin ale. Smelled of cinnamon and sugar and while tasting it I tasted hints of graham cracker. Very good fall beer.

The appearance was a nice semi-dark to light orange to brown color-ed body with a nice less than a half fingered white foamy head that died extremely quickly. Lacing, hmmm...what lacing, there wasn’t any. The smell had a nice cinnamon to ginger spiced somewhat pumpkin-esque sort of spiciness trying to let a semi-decent maltiness to come about it. Does it? Hmmm....Not really, but still good for the most part. The taste, hmmm....well, its a fairly good spicy to sweet to a light hoppy bitterness combining and coming all about into itself. On the palate, it sat at/about a fairly light to medium on the body leading into a decent sessionable quality and having a fairly good carbonation running about its body. Overall, for the most part, I’d say this was a good Pumpkin Ale.

New Holland Ichabod Ale | New Holland Brewing Company. Poured from the bottle into a pint glass, the head on this beer is three fingers thick and off-white, with solid lacing, and a clear deep mahogany brownish amber body.
I smell milder pumpkin/ginger spice with caramelized malts.
Tastes like the caramelized malts mixed with gingerbread making this a damn tasty brew, let alone the lighter pumpkin hints.
Medium mouthfeel with mild carbonation.
Overall, I'll rate New Holland Ichabod Ale | New Holland Brewing Company with a 4.5
