Well known blogger Tom Bedell has a running post titled, "Tap Beer Of The Week". Week 42 is dedicated to Smashed Pumpkin Ale. As many reviewers have done in the past, Blodell compares and contrasts "The Smashed", to the brewery's better known Pumpkinhead Ale. Eventually though he correctly points out that "Smashed" can, and does stand on its own merits.
He writes,"Smashed Pumpkin is a more sophisticated and heady beer in various ways, not only in its increased strength, although that is a major factor, making it a sipping beer that would be welcome at the dinner table".
It's a most insightful review. You'll find it at this link, http://bit.ly/c3nQnA.
