one of the 13 ingredients is free range water..Thank God for that...wouldn't want captive water in my beer...no Sirree..

Seemed to be a bit darker in color, cloudier, and certainly not as bright as some pumpkin ales I've sampled. Off white head fizzles down to a slight cap leaving some gobs of lacing.

Aroma, for a pumpkin ale is disappointing. Faint hints of nutmeg, roasted malts, your typical pumpkin pie spice spectrum. But I like it to be more upfront...just how I roll..

Gonna agree with a fellow reviewer in so much as I like the balance in the flavors. The spice doesn't overpower the malts, which I found to have a slight chocolate undertone which blends well with the spice mix...a nice, fresh approach.

Had the mouthfeel at 3.5, but as I worked through the pint I found it got flatter. This coupled by a too fizzy beginning = a meh average. Certainly not as full bodied as I was expecting from a Rogue Ale.

Some good things to take from this sampling..I really like the flavour as they were a fresh take on this style. This beer falls flat, literally, with it's carbonation. Too agressive in front, not enough in the finale.

Bomber purchased in the fall from Liquor Express in Huntsville AL and shelved at home. Poured into a snifter on 3/30/13 at around 40 degrees at around noon.

-Pour: Good bit of head and carbonation in the glass. Head dissipated after about a minute or two. Very nice pumpkin hue to the color.

-Nose: Smells like pumpkin pie to me, nothing overly dramatic. I like pumpkin pie though so no worries!

-Taste: Pretty much the same. Cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkins, wheat, some malts, spices. None of them were overbearing, but I felt that this was a much better balance of taste than most other pumpkin beer types that I've tried.

-A medium feel to it with medium carbonation, went down pretty smoothly.

Poured a brownish auburn with decent head on top of a bready, subdued pumpkin and cinnamon aroma, not really noticing much else although a touch of other sugary goodness (probably caramel). It is a light to medium bodied beer that is smooth and easy to drink and finishes crisp and easy thanks to the spice and decent hops and carbonation. As for the taste, a good chunk of pumpkin is noticeable but it is not overpowering and thankfully the spices in here, like a touch of nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, balance the beer, as do some sweet and bready. So while not overly sweet or pumpkiny, it is also not watery and too spicy and almost no pumpkin is noticeable as I have found in some other (cheap) pumpkin ales. Not the greatest or tastiest pumpkin ale but I got my "pumpkin fix" and it was sweet enough to enjoy as a dessert beer and that's all I ask.
