Poured a medium copper hue with a half finger foamy white head. There was decent retention and lacing.
The smell featured a rindy vegetable aroma with a touch of sweetness.
The taste consisted of a rindy pumpkin with a light spice and a light sweetness.
The mouthfeel was toward the lighter side of the style.
Overall a good, but bland pumpkin ale.

Appearance: Golden orange with little head
Smell: Herbally and mild pepper
Taste: Opens with herbal and veggie flavors as a hint of pumpkin emerges but barely. Tangy and sour finish leaving a similar aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation and slightly smooth.
Drinkability: I wouldn't have this again but I recommend this someone who is into trying pumpkin ales which a simple profile and a hint of pumpkin.

On tap at Capone's on 11/7/09. Served in a shaker pint.
A - Crystal clear, moderately carbonated light orange/amber body with a thin white cap that receded to a patchy film and left no lacing.
S - Light pumpkin spices up front suggest cinnamon, clove and nutmeg with a hint of pumpkin meat. Where are the peppercorns? Not getting much of a peppery fragrance at all, unfortunately. Some light floral hops balance out the aroma.
T - Reminds me of a light lager with a subtle spicy flair including traces of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. There is only a hint of pumpkin, perhaps. Finishes with floral hop bitterness and a hint of spicy peppercorn character.
M - Light to medium bodied with a syrupy, though somewhat watery, texture and moderate carbonation. Finishes with faint hop bitterness and residual spiciness on the palate.
D - Easy enough to drink, but ultimately this is rather tame and I was disappointed with this effort overall. I was expecting more of a spicy affair with a more pronounced peppercorn aspect.

Poured from tap at Capones in Norristown into a sample glass.
A: A medium orange color with not much head at all. Faint ring of off white head left no lacing.
S: Sweet malts and some light fruit. Not much nose, no hint of pumpkin, peppercorn or hops.
T: This is a pumpkin? Malt sweetness is predominant flavor with hints of dried fruit and a deep candy malt sweetness. Funny I know, but I get a very distinct flavor of Swedish Fish on this beer. Finish is sweet with a touch of hops. Where is the pumpkin? Where is the peppercorn? Didn't get either.
M: Medium to a bit light. No alcohol traces.
D: Meh, ok I guess. How much candy swedish fish beer can you drink?
Overall disappointed in this beer. If you are making a pumpkin peppercorn, make the flavors come out, please.

The beer pours an orange color with a thick frothy white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is good. It has a nice subtle pumpkin scent laid over pale and light crystal malts. There appears to be little or no spices added. It's a straight up pumpkin brew. The taste is good also. It's smooth and creamy with a mild pumpkin flavor. Even at room temperature it's very enjoyable. There is no pumpkin zing to it; very well balanced. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a medium bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a tastey beer. It's not over the top. It done right; a fine session beer, even for those who may not like most pumpkin ales.
