Booze ... in 50 Words or Less: Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale


http://www.shipyard.com/

Pumpkin beers are always hit or miss. This one's a miss. Too light for a fall beer. Not much flavor to report at all ... other than a strange aftertaste combo of sweet 'n low and nutmeg.

  1. I almost picked this one up at Wegman's today. I took a look at the bottle and thought the contents looked a little light. I have had others from Shipyard and they were not too bad.

  2. Thank goodness you passed on that. Although we were out with a friend last night who enjoyed the beer. I think judging pumpkin brews is largely a matter of taste.

  3. I will pass final verdict: It was garbage. The thing tasted skunked!

  5. Ah, I have to disagree with you on both counts. It's fashionable to wear the right sort of white pants all through winter, and it's cool to drink pumpkin beer any time of the year. Now spilling pumpkin beer on white pants: no
