Review: Smuttynose Pumpkin


The  description: The pour is a handsome orange-amber with a decent puffy white head and a significant white lacing. The aroma contains hints of pumpkin spice and crisp hops. The body is medium. The taste has some element of hops but little along the line of traditional pumpkin spices. ABV 5.0
  Analysis:
When I dive into these fall specials I become overjoyed because I know the great porters are right around the corner. This is  a good  pumpkin beer with great spice balance and flavor. Some beers get a little out of control with the spice. This pumpkin beer is little below the high standard I have set for smutty though.

Analyst Score: 6
