Beer six of 100 Beers in 100 Days = Shipyard's Pumpkinhead. Tracked this down after a recommendation from a friend but more importantly, know this; I love pumpkin. LOVE it. It is my favorite flavor of anything ever. I would kill a man in a dark back alley to get my hands on a tub of pumpkin cream cheese (my absolute favorite form of pumpkin). So I guess what I'm saying is, this may be the first pumpkin beer but it won't be the last. Tis the season and I will take it upon myself to try as many as possible for the benefit of my readers. All three of you. Yeah, that's it. We'll go with that.  Anyway, this particular pumpkin brew was good, fresh tasting, but a tad bit monotone. I suppose I prefer to taste more of the pie spices that usually accompany pumpkin flavors and while the ginger is fairly evident the cinnamon and nutmeg were lacking. That said, being that it's not an overwhelming beer, this would be an excellent session choice for the fall holidays. I can see buying a case, sitting around a bonfire all night telling scary stories, and eating boatloads ofhalloween candy that I bought the morning after Halloween when it's all gone on clearance. 7/10.
