I see that walmart has on the shelf already so I scored a pack along with some noble pils. The 2010 batch was great, the 2011 not as good, and I will give a report on the current batch. It seems a wee bit early in the year for them to run this beer.

I haven't seen their pumkin ale here before. I'll have to look out for it. I just bought canned pumpkin today, so I can brew one next weekend.

So far two bottles in, and it's seems well but not overly spiced like last years batch. It's close to what I remember of the 2010 batch that got me hooked on it.

Ive never tried the pumpkin, but ive had every other variety they make and the only one im not fond of is the Agave.

I totally agree with you. I'm a HUGE pumpkin ale fan and thought last years sucked compared to 2010's. I'm still waiting for some to hit the store near Baltimore. I can't wait.

Anyone that likes pumpkin beers that hasn't tried Southern Tier Pumking is doing themselves a serious injustice. Far and away the best pumpkin beer made. 9% and tastes like pumpkin pie. I have an attempt at a clone in the secondary now.

Absolutely. Its in my top 5. I actually had a bomber left over from last year and decided to have it over the weekend. It almost brought a tear to my eye.

Agreed, definitely one of the best pumpkin beers.

I might swing by the store tonight and pick up some different seasonal...I have never been too big into pumpkin beers, but I've only had a few.

I tell ya though, I cannot get enough of Oktoberfest/Marzen/Festbeir/Amber Lagers...I need to suck it up and attempt a lager!

I could totally drink those styles year around.

I finally got my hands on the Blue Moon Pumpkin, and I have to say I'm impressed. I also picked up Sam Adams pumpkin, and I didn't like it. My local bottle shop only has one brand of pumpkin ale at the moment. I'm waiting for them to stock up so I can pick up a few different varieties...
