Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale

Brewed by Shipyard Brewing Company
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Portland, Maine USA

Bottle from 3 Son. Some faint malt, blond color, spicy minty, but all in all pretty thin. carbonation too high 2009 Carbonation less, more round and full taste of spices, not thin compared to others.

Bottle. 12oz. Pours a brilliantly clear and light copper with a very small white head. Nose is cinnamon clearly. Taste is alos cinnamon and clove with a very smooth sensation on the palate which is kind of dissapointing. This is one of the better pumpkinbeers I have had.

Common pale yellow lager color. Not much aroma, just clean. Mildly veggie in its own way. Weirdly fruity. Hey punkinhead! Nice label. Twist off 12 ounce brown bottle. Some hints of punkin spice and a decent palate fizz. Hass odd veggie lager finish, almost metallic. Acceptable session. Nice beer except for that unmannered finish.

Pours orange amber wiith white head. Pumpkin pie spice aroma and flavors with some sweet maltiness. Medium body with average carbonation. A decent beer if you like pumpkin pie.

Clear deep golden with medium off white head. Sweet and spicy aroma with malt and caramel notes. Sweet flavour with notes of cinnamon and malt. Ends with loads of cinnamon.

Light, clear copper in color with a small white head. Aroma of pumpkin and seasonal spices. Flavor is much the same. Not a bad seasonal, but not especially great or memorable.

Bright golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove. Tastes lightly spicy with notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin and cider. Thin bodied with soft carbonation. Would be better with a little more body and flavor.

This beer is a light pale color (orangy I suppose) with a small white head (this can be changed with pouring techniques). The flavor is really good with a strong pumpkin taste especially at the first sip with a lot of cinnamon and a little bit of nutmeg and clove. The arome is light and the palate is lacking but overall if you are in the mood for a Pale Ale with a pumpkin taste this is a good beer. This is good as an end of summer beer while the weather is still warm... Once it is cold I want something with more body.
