WASTACH BEERS - WASTACH PUMPKIN ALE  Aroma of pumpkin, spice and some sweet malts, but nothing really stands out. Flavor is pretty mild, pumpkin pie with nutmeg and cinnamon. Kind of thin and feels watery in the mouth. Seems kind of one dimensional, pretty basic standard pumpkin ale. Perfect for someone that wants to try the style as it is super light and easy to drink.

TOMMYKNOCKER BREWERY & PUB - SMALL PATCH PUMPKIN HARVEST ALE  Light aromas of pumpkins and pumpkin spices, but pretty muted. Taste is similar to the smell, but the flavors are at least a little stronger and a little more going on. I can notice a littly molasses, caramel, cinnamon, vanilla and of course a little pumpkin pie. Taste surprised me a little as the aroma was pretty one dimensional. Interesting tasting, actually seemed to get a little better as it warmed. Not bad, not one of my favorites in the style, but it is one i would return to.

CISCO BREWERS - PUMPLE DRUMKIN SPICED ALE  The smell was pretty light to me, some pumpkin spices with a hint of malt, but not much else. Taste is just like the nose, nothing stands out at all. Pretty light and soft. Not overly sweet and has a little bit of a bitter finish. Not a bad beer, but not a real good represetative of the pumpkin style. Pass.

PEARL JAM - LIVE AT BENAROYA HALL  OCTOBER 22, 2003  This was an official live release from Pearl Jam that is getting pretty hard to find. Mostly all acoustic and was also a benefit show. The sound on this is great. What an incredible show. A good representation of songs from all albums and some great covers. I have a lot of bootleg shows from Pearl Jam but this performance has got to be one of my favorites. This show just needs to be heard by any fan.
