Justin:

Aroma - Smells sweet with no hop presence.  A few "pumpkin" spices but nothing dominates.  I honest-to-god think I might be detecting some pumpkin.  It's more like sweet potato but it's definitely something.
Score: 9/12
Appearance - Cloudy and amber.  No real head when poured and it didn't stick around.
Score: 2/3
Flavor - The spices are fairly subdued for this compared to other pumpkin beers.  It allows for some sweetness to come through and it all goes very well together.
Score: 15/20
Mouthfeel - The beer has thin body and medium carbonation.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - This pumpkin beer goes right down the middle for me.  It's easy to say that I've had better but I've also had much, much worse.  Since they don't distribute a lot of their beers, if you have yet to give Kirkwood Station a try, I recommend going to their brewery to sample this seasonal and while you're there, be sure to try out some of their flagships.
Score: 7/10
