Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale

Picked up a bottle to try from Trader Joe’s. Big white head which falls flat. Loads of carbonation in a orange body. Obviously filtered. Light spicy aroma. Thin body. Flavor more of pumpkin pie spices, especially cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Anemic example of a pumpkin beer for my tastes.

On tap @ the Mellow Mushroom in Tampa. Pours clear golden in color with thin white head. The aroma at first seemed like bubble gum. Then some of the pumpkin and spice started to show through. The flavor was similar to the aroma. I taste sweet bubble gum, some pumpkin, cabbage and some other spices (maybe cinnamon and or nutmeg). I really don’t taste anything resembling hops. Interesting taste but not very pumpkin like. A bit of a disappointment.

Small white head, fades quickly. Clear light copper color. Cinnamony nose. Light body, thin, watery. Cinnamon and nutmeg flavors. Sadly theres no meat to this pumpkin ale.

Pours a clear golden-orange colour with an average head that does not leave much. Aromas and flavours are like pumpkin pie. Nutmeg spices and some nice sweetness in the taste. Like pumpkin pie in a glass. Does get a little rich, but a pretty nice pumpkin ale overall.

Pours a clear golden body with medium carbonation and minimal head or lace. Aroma of allspice, it seems much more 'crisp' than other beers. Flavor has the same spice to it and lots of honey with very little pumpkin. Rather unusual for a pumpkin beer, kinda like a pumpkin soda, but its not bad..

Pours out a hazy gold color with a light white head. The aroma smells just like a pumpkin pie. The mouthfeel is just a little thin but not bad. The taste is all malt and spices and is really good.

Sampled on draft at Pete's. Pours copper with a creamy head. Subtle pie spice aroma. Slightly sweet with mild spice. Easy to drink for the style. Excellent.

Pours medium to dark hazy orange/copper with a moderate off-white head. The pumpkin-pie-spice aroma is very nice - the standout part of this beer experience. Thin body is not very appealing and doesn't match the aroma. Flavor is OK, but lacking compared to aroma.
