Real pumpkin, seasonal spices, and fresh-from-the-patch flavor. Some people say pumpkins are fruit. Other people say pumpkins are vegetables. We say… they’re tasty! So we brewed our fall-spiced hefeweizen with pure pumpkin – a truly delicious fruiveggie!

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glas. Hazy light orange with small off-white head. Aroma is nutmeg, light body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is nutmeg and some pumpkin.

Part of a sampler at Jet Rock at PHL terminal B. Hazy orange with moderate low white head. Way too much pumpkin spice. It worked on a nice aroma but came through as too much spice on the palate.

Bottle. Nose is cinnamon and spice, coriander, orange, wheat. Maybe a bit of pumpkin. Glowing orange, cloudy, with lace. Effervescent. Sweet and fruity, orange peel and wheat, strange spice combination, witbier with pumpkin pie. Doesn’t work. Astringent finish.

Bottle from Signal Variety, Plaistow, NH. Aroma is, surprise, surprise like pumpkin pie--cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Appearance is hazy orange with consistent carbonation and small white head with decent retention and negligible lacing. Taste is moderately sweet. Palate is medium bodied, milky texture, with average carbonation with above average kick at the tip of the tongue toward the finish, which is short. Overall a moderately flavorful representative of the genre. No surprises here to the good or bad.

Cloudy light orange-yellow color with a big off white head that didn’t last long. No lacing. Good pumpkin spice taste. A little on the wheaty side. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Light amber slightly hazy appearance with small foamy white head, no discernible aroma, slightly sweet pumpkin taste, low carbonation, thin body, abrupt finish. Not very good for pumpkin beer.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was a hazy orange colored body that leaves some ringy lacing. A decent one finger white head appears and lasts for about a good minute before slowly dieing into the body. No carbonation is seen rising.
The smell had the pumpkin up front with a good combination of nutmeg, clove, and ginger gently backing it up.
The taste was pretty much the same.
The palate sat about a medium on the body and has no harshness on the tongue, very smooth. I would say this is a very drinkable beer.
Overall, this is a pumpkin ale I could come back to if I could find again.
