Dec 10, 2005 Smells good but very hoppy, not neccisarily bad but weird mix of pumpkin flavor and strong hops

Dec 9, 2005 No head at all. Golden amber color. Hint of pumpkin with some hops and mutmeg. Weak for a pumpkin ale. Very disappointed with this offering.

Dec 6, 2005 I’m not a big fan of Smutty or a big fan of pumpkin ales, but I do like this one more than I expected. Good sweet and spicy pumpkin nose. Pours a great dark cloudy orange with a small tan-to-orange head. Sweet malt and herbal taste, with adequate but not overwhelming nutmeg and other spices. Good mouth ... lighter than I expected but with a nice tannic chalkiness. Thre is nothing about it I love, but it just sort of works pretty well.

Dec 1, 2005 Pours a clear golden color with a very small head and no lacing. Aroma is pretty mild/weak and non-descript. Upon second whiff, I get a faint hint of spice (nutmeg, all-spice). The flavor is pretty good, but I am still on the quest for the ultimate pumpkin beer with lots of spice which this just doens’t have (in my opinion). It’s a very enjoyable beer nonetheless and easy to drink due to it’s light and crisp palate makeup.

Nov 29, 2005 I had a lot of pumpkin brews this Autumn and the Smuttynose really stands out in the front of the pack. It has a great spicey aroma of nutmeg and cloves and tingles in your nose like a really strong fresh pumpkin pie. The body pours a light orangish amber with a very thin white head. The inital taste is a bit light and crisp, with definite ale qualities. The finish is the money maker as the all-spice flavors linger around and make you crave more. My suggestion is to light a few candles, pull on a blanket, cuddle up next to someone you love and have a few of these. It will be a great night.

Nov 27, 2005 A very decent pumpkin ale. Hoppy and floral at the nose with some pumpkin aroma. Spicy on the palate and very dry in the finish.

Nov 24, 2005 Full on ginger bread in the appealing cookie dough aroma. Hazy copper coloured body with a decent off white head that recedes to partial cover with some lacing. Floral and ginger spiciness with doughy yeast and dry, assertive and lasting finishing bitterness. Medium full body with soft carbonation. Very tasty in small amounts but spiciness builds and sweetness becomes cloying. Sampled on tap the The Ginger Man in NYC with Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Nov 21, 2005 2 bottles shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of HogTownHarry & myself. Pours a bubbly clear orange with a small diminishing white head. Wonderful aroma of pumpkin pie (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and pumpkin) along with some malt and hops. The flavour follows the aroma and is so much more flavourful then most other pumpkin beers -- It’s much spicier and hoppier then most. Medium bodied. What a pleasant surprise this beer was, I certainly wasn’t expecting much but it was really good. I need to get more!
