6.7%. Nice intense nose of pumpkin spice. The beer starts malty with hints of dry spices in the back. Very dry, deep malty, grainy. Fruity pumpkin above the heavy body. Nice deep, rich and spicy.

Pours reddish amber with a thin white head. Aroma of pumpkin spice, cinnamon, vegetables. Taste has hearty pumpkin notes, nutty, some pumpkin seed elements, more vegetables. Palate has more sweet vegetable notes. Good.

Hazy amber and deep copper coloured body with brown tints and a nice, two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of pit fruits, caramel, deep toffee, earth, malt, grain and quite a lot of squash. Light to Medium-bodied; Some earth and metal show up at first, but a lot of water, grain, caramel and that’s about it, aside from some spices and the faintest touch of squash noticeable in the flavour - fairly disappointing. Aftertaste shows the earth and light caramel with no body, no depth and definitely no complexity. Overall, a nice smelling beer, but it ends there with only a touch of squash and spice noticeable at all; Not worth buying nor trying to find and definitely not worth saving. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-December-2015 for US$1,43 sampled at home in Washington on 14-January-2016.

12 ounce bottle. Hazy Amber orange color. Moderate sized creamy beige head. Caramel malt nose. Notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Bittersweet toasted malt flavor with all the pumpkin pie spices. Some spicy hops in finish. Run of the mill as pumpkin brews go.

Draught @ Waterfront Ale House. Copper red with small frothy white head, somewhat flat pumpkin aroma, medium carbonation, bitter taste, long finish. Not really very insiring as a pumpkin beer.

Bottle from Harvest Market, Bedford NH. Aroma is caramel, bready malt backbone with pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, mild clove. Appearance is hazy orange-brown with nice sparkle and minimal off-white head, with minimal lacing. Taste is like aroma, though not as strong. Palate is medium bodied with creamy texture, soft carbonation and mild bitter finish. Overall, pretty standard for the type, but isn’t overly sweet.

Bottle form Harvest Market Lightly hazy light amber, lots of brown sugary pie spices. Not horrible for a pumpkin ale

Pours a hazy dark copper from the bottle. Smells of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, in that order. Flavor is of pumpkin, with some sweetness along with the spices. Okay pumpkin ale.
