Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin

9.0 % Alch by Vol


The pour introduced an inviting amber color with a thin white head. The nose was a potent with sweetness and alcohol, without very much pumpkin. With the first sip comes sweetness combined with alcohol and pumpkin on the finish. My own opinion on pumpkin beers is that they should be spiced and remind me of the much awaited dessert on Thanksgiving. However, with Shipyard's take, I did not have that. It was a fine beer, but not what I was looking for in a pumpkin beer.
