Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale

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

Bottle. Golden colour. Sweet malty aroma with some gingerbread. Sweet candylike flavour, slightly spicy. Thin mouthfeel.

Golden clear colour with a little head. Nice christmas aroma of cinnamon and orange peel lot of aroma. Not the same taste as the aroma, some flavour of malt, spices and with a little fine and tasty finish of pumpkins.

(Bottle) Pale amber/orange colour with frothy, quickly disappearing, white head. Malty and very spicy nose with ginger, cinamon, cardamom, clove and unripe banana. Hints of honey as well. Cinamon takes over after a while. Strange, spicy taste with cinamon, ginger, clove, notes of citrus and honey. Slightly thin with short finish (luckily), a bit artifical. Definitely interesting, but more strange than good. Is this what pumpkin tastes like? I’m not really impressed.

nice golden copper, very strong pumpkin flavor that overwelms the rest of the beer, some maltiness with strange mouthfeel and aftertaste

12-ounce brown bottle date notched five months out. It pours a bright dark gold with orange hues. Well carbonated but a slight head. Big cinamon aroma then a solid combo of light malt, caramel and moderate pumpkin spices - all within reason. Matched with a light-medium body and medium mouthfeel, it is overall very drinkable.

Golden, slightly orange with no head. Aroma is very vegetal, with standard pumpkin spice background. Flavor has a certain fruitiness going on, that I can’t pinpoint. almost Belgian like. Clove and allspice? in the finish. Very weak overall.

Clear golden colour with a small white head. Malty, spicy aroma with a light caramel sweetness. Cookie flavor witha light spicy note. Light dry, sweet and spicy finish.

First time with the pumpkin beer. Orange-brown pour with a bubbly head. Aroma is close to gingerbread. Taste is the same, with the pumpkin coming out. Spicy and sweet, but watery. A nice little beer.
