Now that September is upon us, its time for the pumpkin brews to start flowing! With a little under two months till I name my favorite pumpkin beer, I decided to start with one of my favorites, Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. I drank this one out of a bottle while sitting on the beach, blurring the line between Summer and Fall. To start it has one of the sickest labels I have ever seen. Its not really true pumpkiny, but rather has a strong aroma and taste of nutmeg, cinnamon and possibly whipped cream. It both smells and tastes almost exactly like a delicious pie. To pumpkin beer purists who want a beer that's brewed with and tastes like real pumpkin, it disappoints, but as someone who loves pumpkin pie I take it for what it is and thoroughly enjoy it. A seasonal beer is intended to fit the season its for and this one definitely makes you feel Fally. A great pumpkin pie ale that will be tough to beat.
