    I learned from. The illuminati! Trilogy that I should never whistle while I piss as the action of doing one takes away from doing the other.

    It's part of revelations. It's in the part with Megaleg...

    FWIW, I'm a huge pumpkin beer guy, and a pretty big pumpkin guy all around. But, the one pumpkin sour I had was absolute dogshit. Hidden Cove's Molay. They describe it as "Molay is a sour pumpkin Molay ale. A dark ale brewed with pumpkin and chocolate malt. Aged for 10 months in bourbon barrels with organic tomatoes, chipotle peppers and raisins." Sounds whacky and fun on paper, right? Yeah, no. Any pumpkin meat that may have smoothed things out was completely absent from the beer, just a spicy and tart mess. But my rant it over, and it looks like you've got a nice collection of pumpkin beers there :beers:

    Out of curiosity ...

    Has anyone actually tried this one yet?

    This could be really good or take a nosedive the other way...

    I'm just glad to see a new pumpkin beer, you don't see the like you used to anymore. I can usually only find 2 or 4 new ones to review each year.

    My review if anyone's interested:

    New Beer Weekend #58

    Decent and worth drinking but not something I would go out of my way for.

    @BeerVikingSailor That Prairie "sour" is downright delicious. Not extremely sour at all and reminded me more of baked sweet potato/yam casserole with the marshmallow topping. Not a bad thing in my book.

    This sounds interesting and I would love to try it.

    On another note, I just discovered my new favorite pumpkin beer and it's from Aldi's grocery store. I've always felt their beers have been very decent but the pumpkin beer tastes like melted pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream. So delicious!
