Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

Reddish orange clear body. White soapy sparse head. Decent aroma… pumpkin spice, something that seems like wet crisp hops. Taste is okay… crisp yeasty pumpkin with some faint sweet caramelly malts. Almost a bittering spicy hop presence too that dries it out a bit. At least my glass caught a fruit fly.

Aroma:Very spicy... Appearance:ligh hazy orange,small head... Flavor:watery,spicy,light fruity...

From a bottle purchased in Madison, WI. The body is medium orange with a white head on top. The aroma was spicy nutmeg and pumpkin with a little bit of sweet cigar tobacco. The taste had a fairly strong nutmeg presence with only hints of pumpkin in the background. There was also a little bit of toabcco. An interesting and earthy, spicy pumpkin ale.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a somewhat hazy golden brown with a thin, nearly white head that disappeared after a few sips. Pleasant aroma of pumpkin and caramel. Very little spice noted in the aroma. The irony is I found the flavor to be the exact opposite. Heavy cinnamon in the flavor and very little pumpkin. Dry, hoppy finish. A bit better than average, but still behind Weyerbacher and SPH.

Pours a hazy light amber/orange with little head. Aroma was full of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, maybe a bit of nutmeg. Flavor was a bit weak in the pumpkin and thin in the body. I was expecting a bit more from the Smuttynose people.

on tap-pours a white head with gold color. Aroma is nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin. Taste is nutmeg, allspice, pumpkin, some bitterness. Good effervescence.

12 oz- Pours a hazy orange-brown with a nice tan head. Not a big fan of hoppier beers, this one is not for me. A little bitter and more hop flavor than pumpkin spices.

Sweet and spicey aroma,like the little spice gumdrops, plenty of cinnimon, orange gold color, taste is malt pumkin pie spice and pumkin, there is a sharp bitterness at the end that dries it all out,not sure I like that ending
