Drinkable but not one of the better pumpkin beers by any means

what would you suggest?

New Belgium usually makes solid beers.

It's a little lemon-y for me. It's pretty mild as far a pumpkin beers go. But very drinkable.

I liked the Sam Adams Fat Jack Double Pumpkin, but can't seem to find it anywhere.

In general, I find that pumpkin beers are either over spiced or overly sweet for my tastes. This one is neither so I actually thought it was good.

It's light, NB didn't go overboard with the pumpkin spice, and the faint tart cranberry flavor is a nice twist.

It's one of those beers that I would drink someone else brought it to a party, but probably wouldn't go buy myself.

A little too candy arse for me but got to support my local sconnie Brewers.

Fwiw my favorite candy arse beer is still purple haze - only whole foods carries it up here and it's like 10.99 a sixer

My favorite is Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

For something available a lot of places, UFO's pumpkin is solid.

New Belgium = delightfully average Colorado Brewery

I think the sconnie brewers you are thinking of may be New Glarus.

Tried it last week. I didn't like it at all. It's overly spiced with a somewhat cherry taste to it.

Warlock is my favorite readily available pumpkin beer

Best pumpkin beer I've had in 6 pack form is the UFO pumpkin.


We all know pumpkinator is the goat pumpkin beer though.
