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

A: pours to a 1 finger head with some lingering froth over an amber body.
S: subtle pumpkin notes with an light touch of nutmeg. Very light on the spice smell.
F:Soft small bubbles make for a smooth drink of medium body.
T:Some pumpkin seems to strike first but very well integrated with the malt/grain the follows. A trace of nutmeg through out like a guide. Slight tart flavor from hops or pumpkin? despite that finishes clean no lingering flavors, very tidy.
O: I feel this is a decent beer with a touch of pumpkin and nutmeg. It is not sweet or a spice bomb. They give you a beer with a light touch of something different. I would perfer a stronger roasted pumpkin flavor but this isn't bad.

Pours a ruddy brown/amber color into the trusty old tulip. A little over a finger of off white foam. Good retention, no lacing. Aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg, malt, pumpkin flesh. Taste is a nice spice blend without the cinnamon becoming too overpowering, followed by bready malt, pumpkin, green apple, white grapes. Something to have every fall.

I got this beer at my local Krogers at a make your own six pack station. Poured quite nicely, and as a person that doesn't particularly enjoy pumpkin beers this one kinda takes the cake. It isn't overpowering and has a really decent lighter flavor than most beers of its type. I would gladly drink a sixer of these by a campfire and tell ghost stories.

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.
