Aug 28, 2008 Yellow orange with a small white head. Aroma is sweet and soapy with a bit of wheat and nutmeg at the end. Tastes a bit like a wheat beer with spices, with a rather thin mouthfeel. Mild vomity aftertaste. $2/12oz

Aug 27, 2008 Easy to enjoy, quick to drink and a good time to start drinking pumpkin beers. The aroma is quite alluring, with an easy to smell nutmeg/cinnamon combo that’s not hard to detect at all. Flavors had some subtle maltiness, light nutmeg but mostly non-descript. Color was a light yellowy-orange color with a small 1 finger thick head that went away rather quickly. Mouthfeel was thin and prickly. The best part of this beer was the aroma. I could smell this one for a long time. Oh, the bottle I had was not Shipyard’s Pumpkinhead Ale, but Kennebunkport’s Pumpkin Ale.

Aug 25, 2008 12 oz bottle pours a straw color with a thick white head. Aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg. Flavor is spices, pumpkin, and light maltiness. Very thin mouthfeel.

Aug 25, 2008 Bottle, best by 01/2009. Pours a light orange with lots of carbonation and a thick, foamy white head that persists. Aroma of luscious pumpkin pie and the usually spices (lots of nutmeg and a huge cinnamon presence). MMM, this smells good! Flavor of a lot of pumpkin with an initial spritzy carbonation bite, some sweet malt in the finish. One of the better pumpkin ales, as it really tastes like pumpkin!! Nice malt backbone too so that it’s not watery. Very drinkable and tasty, I’m really surprised by such low ratings of this!

Aug 21, 2008 My first pumpkin flavored beer. Thin, small head. Aroma was average, as was the taste. Not too powerful of a seasonal blend. A few too many bubbles.
