This is the best beer ever! Shipyard scored big on this one, and it is my favorite. I love Shipyard Ales and beers. I look forward every year to the annual release of the Pumpkin-head Ale. I can't wait for this year's release! Can 28 Aug come any faster!
This description is right on! This beer tastes just like pumpkin pie!
Wow! we ran out of that product in the Texas area about a month ago! Delicious. great following. Susannah HEB SA39
