Hazy light gold ale with a light white head. Good hops and citrusy aroma, followed by a intense hoppy sweet malt tatste, lots of grapefruits, and nice sustained bitterness. Medium bodied, well balanced, with little animalcules dancing around. (Bottle, from CJs in Potsdam, NY 1.40$)

Deep amber color, slight haze, creamy sticky off white head. Malty, yeasty, clean aroma. Smooth, medium bodied, very well balanced. The malt really carries this one. Easy drinking beer.

Paid $1.50 for a 12-oz single. Golden in color with a gigantic head. Slightly fruity and yeasty in the nose, but not much there. Sweet, slightly chocolate malty, believe it or not. Also very wheaty.

Medium amber with just a bit of haze under a frothy off white head. Aroma of caramel, yeast and some faint spices. The spices come on in the flavor and finish. Some dryness in the finish after a sweet malt start. Not bad, but I’ve had pumpkin beers with more to them than this one.

Deep brown with a rocky off white head. Caramel and yeast aroma is very rich and inviting. The flavor is nutty sweet and goes over the tongue with a full roundness that really pleases. A very well done brown ale that is worth trying.

Deep amber color accompanies a puffy white head. Fresh clean aroma of citrusy hops over a solid malt foundation. The flavor is citrusy, piney and well balanced. Big A’s little sibling. Well done IPA.

Very pumpkiny in the nose, including the lovely spices that go along with pumpkin pie. Color isamber-orange, and the beer has a rather large head. Flavor is full of spices with plenty of pumpkin in there. One of the better pumpkin ales I’ve had.

2004 bottle. Medium orange/copper/auburn color, with light white head. Aroma of heavy spice, lightly hopped and just a hint of brown sugar. Flavor is spicy and a bit too watery, with the pumpkin flavor coming in too sugary for my tastes. Like a kolsch or something with pumpkin pie spice added. Slight bitterness and astringency on the end.

2004 bottle compliments of Eyedrinkale (thanks!). Pours a deep purple mixed with dark mahogany brown. Big creamy beige head. Aroma is intense and filling. Plums, elderberries, blackberries, lightly bittersweet yeast and a semi-sweet roast. Lightly fruity bitterness as well. Maybe I got a particularly good bottle, but wow is this stuff underated. Starts out with a huge rich velvety feel on the mouth, tons of fruity yeast (blackberries to the extreme) with flavorful hops and lightly sweet roasted notes all combining to produce a marvelously balanced flavor (if tending somewhat on the sweet side). I will say that I did detect the ethanol right after my first few sips, but after drinking more, I dont notice it (I seem to detect this in a number of their beers). Flavor makes its way through a big body of caramel, sticky toffee, rich maple and more hops goodness. Ends with citrus masked by yeast and sugar. Carbonation is low and provides for a rich, luxurious body. The flavor and richness of the brew are astounding, but I will admit to being disappointed by the lack of any peat-notes, smokey or otherwise, perhaps could use a bit more dryness somehow. The hops, while not to style necessarily, provide great flavor.

Slightly cloudy orange coloured body with a thinnish off-white head. Aroma of slightly past cascade hops with some floraly and grapefruity hops also. A bit of sweetness in the mix, in addition. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive hoppiness with little else. Completely one-dimensional in overpowering hoppiness-no malt nor other flavours. Aftertaste bittered from the hops-thats about it! Overall, a nice try-definitely less than expected and an insult to the brewery. I sampled this 12 ounce bottle purchased at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York on 04-July-2004, Indepedence Day!
