This pumpkin ale poured a dark orange colour with a thick tan head. To the nose there are scents of pumpkin and nutmeg with a small scent of citrus. First taste was smooth with flavours of pumpkin and nutmeg with a little hopp thrown in. The finish is slightly bitter sweet with the flavour going very watery. Palate is spicey with flavours of pumpkin lingering.

Pours amber into a shaker. Off-white head recedes to skim surface. Pumpkin and nutmeg aromas. Dry with a whiff of pumpkin pie. Not bad.

Bottle, pours copperish, white head. Aroma of pumpkin spices and other nice spices. Taste is malty, pumpkin and some spices(ginger) in the aftertaste. Not a bad beer, something for the season. Too basic in its flavor, although it gained more spicy notes as it warmed up.

Bottle: Poured a orange color with a off white head that turned to a jello top. Aroma is spicy and pumpkin. Taste is a grain, pumpkin, and slight spices at the finish. I expected a bit more pumpkin, then I realized its an AB product.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange-amber color with a small yellow-white head. The aroma was tangy and spicy with notes of nutmeg and cinnamon. The flavor was dry and spicy with strong nutmeg and cinnamon elements. Not bad considering the brewer.

12 oz bottle; nose of nutmeg, cinnamon, and pumpkin; clear copper with a medium orange-beige head; flavor of pumpkin pie including the spices, and a tiny bit of a bitter twang in the finish. What did they do spill some hops in the wort? Not the best pumpkin ale by far but better than Bud!

Clear orange body with a small creamy off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with some light pumpkin, nutmeg and allspice. Sweet spiced flavor on a light malty background.

Bottle. Didn’t notice the Anheuser-Busch on the bottle until after it was bought and paid for. Much better than Bud, of course, but suffering the same problems. Spice is actually nice, but the beer is watery and the taste is faint.

Small, neat, but rather feeble, light beige head eventually recedes to partial cover and ring. A good deal of carbonation rises up through the clear, copper-goldenrod body.
Not a very strong nose, though I will say that it dosent come off overly spiced. Candi syrup, pumpkin, cinnamon and lots of allspice show through behind a honey-vanilla sweetness with a light hint of buttercream. Tapers off dryly, gaining some light plastic and metal notes, though these are very faint. No alcohol noted, quite sugary up front without much complexity as is apt, it seems, for this style.
Pumpkin pie-like flavor combines with vanilla and heavy, sweet cream-like notes to produce a very sweet start. Some cinnamon and allspice provide light touches of dryness and the beer ends on a curiously chewy note that seems like caramelized brown sugar or some other such sugar addition. Very unwavering malt and sugar profile, just sweet cream and brown sugar. Some light plastic elements on the end, which always seem to be present from this brewer, but otherwise rather inoffensive. Medium-high carbonation, a bit pesky at times, though the high sugariness gives the texture a softness. No alcohol noted in flavor.
