Commercial Description:
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale is our homage to the craft and heritage of America’s brewers. Recipes calling for the use of pumpkins in beer date back to early colonial times, when brewers sought to extend their supply of costly imported malt with locally grown ingredients, such as squash and "pompions." In that spirit, we brew our ale with the addition of pumpkin to the mash, along with traditional spices to create a delicious American original.

12 oz. single bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. It’s nice to see Smuttynose worked its way down I-95 into North Florida. Spice notes of pumpkin and cinnamon for a good aroma, though a little bitter, but still holds that pumpkin taste. Has a nice finish. Good beer.

Hazy orange pour. Fluffy white head and spotty lace. Cream, nutmeg and cinnamon on the nose. Pumpkin pie flavor and grassy hops. Why do I keep trying pumpkin beers ?

Pours a nice golden orange color with a small long lasting head and good clarity. The aroma is spicy with plenty of pumpkin pie dominance. The flavor is pumpkin pie of course but with some distinct hoppiness and a mild but unmistakable fruitiness.

One of the best pumpkin ales I have had. Needs a little more creamy pumpkin flavor to be really good. Mostly spices in the flavor, needs some malt to back up the taste. Peppery and fizzy bitter finish. Lots of cinnamon, but not a whole lot else.

12 oz. 6 pack from Greens on Ponce De Leon. Anyways, this beer had a fairly spicy/pumpkin aroma. It wasn’t that pungent, but had a nice cinnamon/pumpkin smell. Flavor was rather malty with some pumpkin and a rather weak spice flavor. Some cinnamon in the flavor, but not much. The beer was not that smooth, but of an average palate. I know I am being terse about this, but I did just try Pumking, so what else can I say. Some great spice flavors, but nothing special going on here; they could have done better.

12oz from Total Wine Tampa. Pours hazy brown-yellow with a cream-colored head. Nose is slight pumpkin, some cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and some brown sugar. Flavor is too light pumpkin, with a mix of spices, and cinnamon throughout. Medium bodied, slightly fizzy, and somewhat lackluster overall.

Bottle: pours a hazy orange with a frothy white head, aroma of spices taste is spiced with a bit of a hop profile and mild bitterness in the finish.
