Sea Dog Pumpkin Ale

Pours light amber into a shaker. White head quickly recedes to nothing. Nutmeg and pumpkin aromas. Sharp with sour pumpkin from front to back.

12oz. Mild aroma of nutmeg and ginger. Chalky bitterness and overpowering ’pumpkin pie flavor’. Doesn’t taste like real pumpkin (like banana vs. artificial banana). A seasonal offering should be something special, not a half hearted effort to grab some market share. Sorry, Sea Dog.

Bottle at Carlyle’s on, when else, Halloween. Very sweet with overpowering pumpkin flavor. Not really my thing. I notice others felt it didn’t have enough. Not really my flavor.

Pours a very bright gold-tinged yellow with no head to speak of. Fresh ginger aroma, sweet and pungent. Not bad! Tastes a bit odd, taste is quite bitter to start, opens up into sweet cereal & spice finish. Alcohol, nutmeg. Good carbonation but body a bit thin. Odd taste, fresh but damp hoppy taste diminishes from overall impression. Thanks to jjpm74 for the trade!

6 pack of 12oz bottles for the 3rd and final McCain/ Obama debate. This tastes like beer with no hops and tons of nutmeg and cinnamon. This is liquid pumpkin pie. This might be the most bland of the pumpkin ales that I have had.

Pours an orange color with a semi white head, some flavors of spice and pumpkin though muted. A little too carbonated for my tastes, and kind of a bitter finish.

This is pretty good stuff. I’ve had plenty of the pumpkin ales and would have to say this one rates up there with shipyards version. Has a nice pumpkin spice flavor to it. Nothing too sweet nor too bitter. Good job Sea Dog.

Pours a yellow with a small tint of orange and a small head. The aroma is a very sweet spice with some fruit coming through. It is very light bodied an just at the end do you get a slight pumpkin pie flavor. Just not enough body here, a bit too carbonated and a artificial tasting flavor.
