Thanksgiving day lunchtime warm up, bottle split at Christine and DAves thanks to DLJ, 28/11/13. Hazed golden amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is grassy, citric tang, orange, light hop profile, touch of caramel maltiness. Taste comprises caramel malt, orange pith, light grapefruit, sprinkle of sucre, a little subdued overall. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, grassy bitterness in the finish with a limted hop presence. Mediocre IPA.

12 oz bottle (NYE share), 12/31/25. Caramel orange, tan head. Caramel, grain, light spice. Herbal and clean enough. Sweater, much pumpkin spicy toward the later part of the mouthfeel. Smooth and clean.
7/7.5/7/8/7.5

Location: 12 oz bottle from Shop Rite, 11/17/13

Aroma: The nose is clean and malty, some nutmeg/pumpkin pie spice, yeast, and a little fruit
Appearance: It pours an unclear golden-orange color with a small head and some mild lace
Flavor: The flavor is light-medium sweet, with plenty of spice, and a mild bitterness too
Palate: The body is light-medium and the mouthfeel, especially the finish, is mostly tingly and spicy
Overall Impression: This isn't a top of style example, but it does feel like a nice start. I like the idea of making a blonde with pumpkin spice, it just wasn't quite executed as well as I think it could have been. Still, it is plenty quaffable.

12oz bottle. Poured a pretty clear golden color. Some light spicy grains, wheat notes, light yeast. Flavor was grains, sweet malts. Not too much in terms of hops, some earthy notes.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled 8/6/2013. Pours lightly hazy golden orange color with a small off white head with solid retention, that reduces to a lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, brown sugar, gingerbread, toast, floral, and herbal earthiness. Nice aromas with good complexity and decent balance of pumpkin, malt, and spice notes; with good strength. Taste of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread, brown sugar, toast, floral, and herbal earthiness. Lingering notes of pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, gingerbread, toast, and herbal earthiness on the finish for a bit. Good balance and complexity of pumpkin, malt, and spice flavors; with moderately watery flavor robustness and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and watery moutfeel that is ok. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present on the finish. Overall this is a decent pumpkin ale. Lacking robustness of flavors, but has good balance and is easy to drink. A fairly enjoyable offering.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 10/13/13

Aroma: Toasted and roasted malt nose, with some smoke, and a little bit of sweet malts
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a small head and very little lace
Flavor: The taste is more sweet than the aroma suggested, still plenty of roast and a little smoke
Palate: The body is medium, it feels a hint watery on the mouth, with a smokey finish
Overall Impression: Decent, but not special It gets a nice smokiness, which is probably the most interesting component of the beer. Otherwise, it's just okay.

On tap at whole food wexford. Very good experience, a nice pumpkin beer for once. ot sure if there is really punkin in ther but its a tad darker than pale ale. Very mild friendly aroma of spiced punkin pie. Yes, at least some punkin spice in tere fer sure. Probably one of the better punkin beers IMHO, its well behaved and never over the top. Good co2 too. Odd muted pumpkin flavor mixed with leather. Overall good beer, I’m pleasantly surprised.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a dark caramel color with a trace white head that faded instantly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet with strong nutmeg, moderate caramel and cinnamon and faint clove. The flavor was sweetish and malty with notes of toffee, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon. Medium finish and medium body. Ok.

Bottle. Light fruity caramel malt aroma. Clear copper with a small, quickly dissipating white head. Sweet caramel malt with a saccharin type bitter finish. Light body, moderate carbonation.
