Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale is our homage to New England’s original brewers, a tip of the cap to historic beer recipes calling for the use of pumpkins that date back to early colonial times. It’s also a beer we’re fiercely proud of – in a sea of imitators, it continues to stand out. Just like Smuttynose itself.
Brewed with real pumpkin and traditional spices – think cinnamon, nutmeg and clove – it’s a hearty, deeply balanced ale with a cornucopia of fall aromas to match a flavor profile that’s robust and complex without being overwhelming.
This is a beer with complements of pumpkin – not the other way around. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Coppery color with a white head, good retention. Aroma has notes of ripe pumpkin and a some cinnamon. Flavor is slightly sweet, some cinnamon and spices. Light sweetness and spicy on palate.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av pumpa, kanel, ingefära, nejlika och torkade aprikoser. Kryddig, fruktig, stor sötma, bra balans, fin beska. Synd att pumpa inte direkt är min favoritingrediens i öl men här funka det nästan.

Pours a hazy dark amber from a bottle. Immediately cloying "pumpkin spice" smell, not sure where the pumpkin flavor is, I’m not getting it. For shame New England based Smuttynose. Tastes like a spiced rum drink. Blech. Should be noted, this was stuck in a surprise sample 12 pack from the local bottle store, a little disappointed because it’s past the drink by date, they’re totally just offloading their shelf turds.

Bottle. Hazy dark orange with small off-white foamy head, cinnamon- pumpkin aroma, high carbonation, faint pumpkin and spice flavor, slightly metallic sweetish taste, medium finish with pumpkin aftertaste. Not bad but not special either.

Flaska från SB. Bärnstensfärgad med en lite orangeare ton, klar, lågt skum. Lätt kryddig doft med främst kanel och muskot, lite aningen tvålig pumpa. Lite tvålig parfymerad smak, kryddor, pumpkin paj. Funkar väl men som oftast med pumpaöl är idén bättre än smaken.

Bottle from Denman’s Wine and Spirits, Vancouver
Cloudy light amber color. Soapy and spicy, mildly sweet, quite bitter.
The beer we don’t need.
