Harpoon UFO Pumpkin
Imagine a pumpkin vine wound its way in a field of barley, and a brewer harvested it all to make a beer. Add Northwestern hops and a blend of spices, and you’ve got UFO Pumpkin. The malt combination provides a smooth body and slightly sweet flavor, which balances perfectly with the earthy notes derived from the pure pumpkin. And like all of our UFO beers, UFO Pumpkin is unfiltered so all the wonderful flavors are right there in your glass. Cheers!

Draft. Pours a hazy copper/gold color with a thin white head. Aroma is a pleasant combination of pumpkin spices: cinnamon & nutmeg mostly. Medium body, good combination of malt and spices, nothing overwhelms, nicely balanced. Finish is sweet with the spices lingering. Nice!
This is not a bad pumpkin beer. I was pleasantly surprised. Aroma was decent. All pumpkin pie spices. Not too heavy, but there. Pour was a nice slightly hazy burnt orange with a half finger off white head. Taste was better than the aroma. Brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg with a a sweet light malty finish. To be honest I wasn’t a fan of the UFO beers, but this one was pretty good. Especially since I’m not a big fan of the style. Medium carbonation
Poured burnt orange with a head that fades within minutes. Aroma of sweet pumpkin and nutmeg. Not overdone like so many in the style.
Hazy orange pour with an off white head. Strong sweet pumpkin pie aroma. Taste is pie spice, sweet pumpkin, caramel, and bready. Medium body.
Tap at brewery in Boston. Orange with small white head. Pumpkin spice aroma. Solid body. Hits the pumpkin beer flavor I?m looking for. Better than expected.
(Tap) hazy, bright orange colour with a small beige head; aroma of pumpkin, spice; balanced flavour with a long, light bitter finish; bit oily palate
Bottle - Pours medium amber, slightly orange, white fizzy head. Aroma of pumpkin, spice, malt. Flavors of pumpkin, pumpkin bread, sweet malt, spices, mild hops. Pumpkin pie crust aftertaste.
12oz bottle 12/18/15 (Total Wine-Tampa)-Pours orange with a decent head. Aroma of pumpkin and spices. Taste of the same. This light bodied brew had everything going on. Good brew.
From the bottle the aroma is spiced a little bit of pumpkin a little bit of yeast, the color is orange and cloudy with a very soft thin white head, the flavor very spicy but not too much and a pumpkin balance is fantastic almost taste like pumpkin pie a little too much spice, the finish is Herbal still trying to figure out the other flavors, the mouth feel medium
Pours a cloudy yellow-Golden with a short white head. Usual pumpkin beer nose. Usual pumpkin beer flavor.
Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can poured into a glas. Hazy light orange with small off-white head. Aroma is nutmeg, light body, low carbonation, and very little lacing. Taste is nutmeg and some pumpkin.
For a Pumpkin ale this isn’t bad but I wouldn’t go buy another. There is actually a flavor of pumpkin in this beer, it isn’t just spice.
Part of a sampler at Jet Rock at PHL terminal B. Hazy orange with moderate low white head. Way too much pumpkin spice. It worked on a nice aroma but came through as too much spice on the palate.
Draft @ DAS BEST Oktoberfest, Baltimore. Pours a slightly hazy golden pale orange color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty spicy pumpkin aroma. Fruity malty spicy pumpkin flavor. Has a fruity malty spicy pumpkin finish.
A subdued aroma of nutmeg, clear pale orange color. Taste of soap, and cream soda with a hint of spice, watery body with a floral soap finish.
Not bad . Cloudy , dirty amber color . Moderate off-white head . Nutmeg and pumpkin notes added to classic weizen notes of clove and banana . Moderate sweetness in taste , spices in the finish. Good pumpkin mix.
Good fall beer. Not overwhelmingly sweet with the pumpkin flavor. Nice Amber color.
12 ounce bottle poured into a brandy snifter. The beer is a hazy copper color with a white head of foam. The aroma has a fruity note to it, but there is a lightly spicy character to it that has some cinnamon and nutmeg. The nutmeg comes through nicely. The taste has sweetness, but the apice balances it out and gives the beer a bit of nice graham crackery notes. Medium body and medium carbonation.
As with many of this style, the pumpkin is lost in the abundance of spices. Pours pretty - a cloudy orange with think white skim on top. Aromas are predicable and pleasant - cinnamon, nutmeg and slight pumpkin. Flavors translate directly, with a nice sweetness mid-sip. Slightly over-carbonated.
A richer ale that starts off with a cinnamon and pumpkin taste and leaves the cinnamon lingering. Fades from the palate very quickly. It's an ok beer.
Strong pumpkin spice smell...very good! Taste is potent and flavorful, bold and unforgiving....good
Modest pumpkin spice aroma. Has a hazy cider colored body with a slim head. Pumpkin taste seems to have just enough and is not over sweetened. Has a crisp refreshing finish. Very well done.
12 oz bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy amber-orange with a thin white head that vanished after about 5 minutes. Taste of pumpkin, spice and cinnamon. Average carbonation, thin body. Meh.
Excellent pumpkin beer. Not spicy or sweet. More an honor to the actual gourd.
Pours a cloudy golden orange from the can with thin ring of off-white head that leaves light lace. Aroma of spicy pumpkin bs, taste follows, exactly what you expect, but the yeast adds some bready qualities. Meh, another in the stable.
Poured from a bottle. Seems very heavily spiced. Strong taste of cinnamon. I've had better and worse pumpkin ales. It's middle of the road.
Bottle. Nose is cinnamon and spice, coriander, orange, wheat. Maybe a bit of pumpkin. Glowing orange, cloudy, with lace. Effervescent. Sweet and fruity, orange peel and wheat, strange spice combination, witbier with pumpkin pie. Doesn’t work. Astringent finish.
Originally rated on 10/22/14. Light orange/copper body, with a white foamy head that leaves some fair lace. Aromas of cinnamon, and allspice, followed up with some sweet malts and pumpkin. Flavor starts with sweet malts followed by the familiar, but subdued pumpkin and spice flavors.It’s a medium flavored, easy drinking pumpkin beer thats not overly sweet or spiced.
12 ounce bottle porous a copper orange color with lots of sediment particles. Huge pumpkin and cinnamon pumpkin pie spice aromas. Nice balance of hop bitterness and clove and multi sweetness in the end. Medium level of carbonation. Very nice beer.
Bottle from Signal Variety, Plaistow, NH. Aroma is, surprise, surprise like pumpkin pie--cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Appearance is hazy orange with consistent carbonation and small white head with decent retention and negligible lacing. Taste is moderately sweet. Palate is medium bodied, milky texture, with average carbonation with above average kick at the tip of the tongue toward the finish, which is short. Overall a moderately flavorful representative of the genre. No surprises here to the good or bad.
