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.

355ml Bottle (5.8%) - Amber in colour. Vanilla, pumpkin and a hint of ginger in the aroma. Sweet, fruity and spicy taste with peach, pumpkin, vanilla and ginger detected. A bit sickly after a while.

12oz bottle from sixpack. On sale for 5.99...still 4 months out from expiration. Foamy white had on top of a bright for the style orange body. Sort of intense spice aroma. Attempts a little more balance than most pumpkin beers, there is some balancing bitterness. Very drinkable, not as cloying as most. Pretty good.

Lovely looking ale. Hazy orange golden color with a thick fine head. Nice lacing. Nice aroma. Some spices and balanced fruity. Medium + body. Fine balance between sweetness and bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. What a tasty beer. Some spices like cardamom. Fruity (pumpkin I guess), toffee and some spruce. Nice one.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours a clear orange color with a small lacy white head. Strong aroma of pumpkin with little spice. Taste is the same, but with richer notes of brown sugar and nutmeg on the back end with a quite hoppy finish.

Bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma and taste of malt, spices (mainly cinnamon and nutmeg), fruit and clove. Quite sweet and with fairly low carbonation. I am not the biggest fan of Pumpin beers.

12 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. 6.45% ABV stamped on the neck. Clear golden orange with just over a finger of off-white head. Aromas of light pumpkin, spices, bits of herbs. Tastes of pumpkin, light spices, hints of nutmeg, some floral hops and crisp notes. Medium body with a dry finish. Simple pumpkin ale but solid.
