Looking to do a pumpkin ale tasting this fall so I'm sending out some feelers. The nose is earthy with a slight sweetness and nutmeg aroma. Little carb but not too thin, solid "ale" body. I think it holds itself well. Pumpkin taste is very mild, some complementary pumpkin spice flavors as one might expect in a pumpkin ale.
It's not as ostentatious as ST's Pumking or Dogfish Head's Punkin. Very mild and unassuming. If you were eating something spicy (hot) or even just something spice-intensive with this, it'd get drowned out. I think it'd be really good with simple roasted or broiled meats (top rounds, turkeys, etc). Could be a solid session/meal beer for the fall season.
