Southampton Pumpkin Ale

22 oz bottle-pours a big foamy off white head and orange/copper color. Aroma is lots of clove, pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon. Taste is clove, pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon, mediu malt-caramel, secondary hops bite. Nicely balanced. Medium body. OK carbonation. Pumpkin ales are a middle of the road style for me, this one was nicely done. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

22oz from Sam’s, Durham. Nice looking amber with impressive carbonation. The aroma isn’t as strong as I’d anticipated, but it’s a pleasant whiff of fresh pie. Fizzy, lively body with tons of nutmeg and a dash of cinnamon stick, but they seem imperfectly blended, even at times a bit bitter and ashy. Not the season’s best.

Pours a hazy orange amber with a creamy light tan head. The aroma is sweet pumpkin meat, spices, nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice. The flavor is similar, showing all of the sweet spices and a definite pumpkin backbone. Nice crisp carbonation. Very nice seasonal beer.

The color was medium orange/brown. The head was creamy, fizzy, and off-white. The aroma was pumpkin, spice, nutmeg, and sweet caramel malt. The flavor was light pumpkin, spices, and sweet malt. The palate was very lively. The finish was clean.

Pours a deep orange color with a medium foamy white head. Had a nice aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin. It smells just like pumpkin pie. The taste is mainly of the pumkin spices at first and then more of the pumpkin flavors as it warms up. There is a nice sweet malt presence in the background as well that balances out everything. The only drawback was that a little over carbonated for my tastes. Overall this was just a really good pumpkin beer and another great one from these guys.

Pours a clear amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of pumpkin, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, and some sweet malts. Flavor starts off light with pumpking and sweet malts. Finishes with the nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Better then most pumpkin ales but not the best.

orangish brown with pumpkin nose. flavor has the largest pumpkin component of all the pumpkin ales I have tasted. it has a nice spice balance. it finishes a little watery and could benefit from a little higher alcohol content that would add some depth

22 oz. bottle. Pours a medium gold. Active white head with a bit of lacing. Strong aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. Nice spicy mouthfeel, pumpkin flavor is subtle. Beer finishes rather dry. Nice beer to drink on Halloween!
