Blue Point Brewing Company Pumpkin Ale

After a tour of Newark's Irish Pubs, its time to get back on track and focus on the Pumpkin beers. I picked up a six pack of Blue Point's Pumpkin Ale yesterday at the Whole Foods in Tribeca to start the pumpkin reviews back up. Poured it into a 16oz glass and it came out burnt orange like usual, with a nice head that lasted for a bit. It had a very spicy smell with mostly cinnamon and nutmeg coming out. Taste was very spicy, again mostly cinnamon, nutmeg and some other sweet malty nodes. Very smooth and easy to drink beer with some slight hops at the end. Nothing too crazy, reminds me of another pumpkin ale I've had, but I can't put my finger on which one. Solid fall seasonal, but doesn't separate itself from the pack.
