This beer was a little too spicy for my taste had a very bitter aftertaste. Poured with a dark color and had a pleasant aroma with a hint of pumpkin and cinnamon in it. Not the best from shipyard

Bottle from Shipyard variety 12-pack. Pours a nice looking orange color with an off-white head. Lots of pumkin, nutmeg and cinnamon in the aroma. The flavor is more subdued than the aroma, but still very nice. Quite easy to drink and not too filling.

12 oz Bottle -- Pours light orange with an off-white head. Heavy aromas of cinnamon and pumpkin. The spice if very mellow and pleasant. The sweetness and light body make for a refreshing alternative to other heavier pumpkin beers.

Bottle. Poured pale pumpkin orange with thin fast dissipating white head. Much pumpkin in the aroma, with some spice. Pumpkiny flavour with a hop edge. Rather thin finish

Thanks to skyview for sharing. Smells OK. Who doesn’t like the smell of pumpkin pie or pastry? Pours a thin, pale beer with a light quickly dissipating head. Initial cider notes give way to the thin spice and pumpkin flavors. There isn’t much here and I wouldn’t go back for more than the tasting size sample I had.

Clear golden pour light head aroma of cinnamon gingerbread .... taste of gingerbreadm, cinnamon and a light spicy finish .... nice beer if you like a gingerbread taste but for a pumpkin the color and flavor aren’t typical

On tap at the Warren Tavern, Georgetown (Boston) MA, October 2009. Bags of cinnamon. Some odd raisiny fruit. Just the sort of Pumpkin beer I struggle with. Underpowered and over-spiced. Not enough other stuff going on to counteract the spicing. Thin mouthfeel. Not my thing at all. But then I’m not really a big fan of pumpkin beers at the best of times.

Very light amber color. More yellow than orange. Tiny head that dissipates very quickly. No lacing. Smells of nutmeg and maybe some cloves. Slight malts, buried down deep. Good pumpkin flavor, even if it seems artificial. Cinnamon and hints of nutmeg and cloves. Decent malt notes. Much better than the nose led me to expect. A little bit creamy, but in the end, this is too thin and weak for my tastes. Drinkability: no thanks.
