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.

Draft at Blind Tiger, with Reuben & Jen, as part of their pumpkin Promo. 15 lines i believe. All sampled as 5oz pours. Squash, pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Decent.

Courtesy of Sea Bass. Pours deep gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma is sweetness, pumpkin, faint spices and Belgian candi sugar. The taste is big sweetness bringing up pumpkin notes, mild spices, sugar sweet malts, a moderate level of spicy hop ting and some fruity esters. Pretty good brew.

aroma is of a pumpkin pie, dark golden color, the hops overpower the taste of the pumpkin spice though

Hazy copper orange. Hoppy with faint pumpkin and spice flavors. Good carbonation medium bodied. Not all that exciting to me, however. No flavor really jumps out.

Courtesy of damienblack. Pours orange, white head. Aroma, lots of pumpkin and spices. Taste of pumpkin with cinnamon in aftertaste. Hoppy with enough spices, leaves a lingering thick / metalic mouthfeel.

Bottle courtesy of sebletitje. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin spice and sweet malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium thin mouthfeel with a mild amount of bitterness. Decent.
