    Interesting news.....let the "pumpkin hate" begin! A spring Pumpkin Wit, sounds good to me!

    Rogue Farms had a bountiful pumpkin harvest this year. Some of those pumpkins go into Rogue Pumpkin Patch Ale. With the excess pumpkins, Rogue frozen the gourds whole, and is creating Pumpkin Savior Ale.
    Rogue Pumpkin Savior Ale is a witbier, brewed with fifteen ingredients, including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla beans, and cloves.
    Created with pumpkins grown at rogue farms in Independence, Oregon. This year we had an abundant harvest that left us with extra pumpkins after we brewer pumpkin patch ale. So rather than let our precious pumpkins rot in the field we decided to save them by freezing them whole and brewing a spring pumpkin wit.
    Rogue Pumpkin Savior Ale will be available of 750ml bottles in Spring, 2015.
    Style: WItbier (w/ Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Vanilla, Ginger, Cloves)
    Availability: 750ml bottles
    Arrival: Spring, 2015

    I still really love a Dead Guy but Rogue seems to be more off than on now. Pass.

    I won't hate on pumpkin, but I am just not a fan of Rogue and this doesn't sound appealing at all to me.

    I thought the Rogue Pumpkin Patch was quite good and will try this new one, if I see it in OH

    I'm a fan of a few of Rogue's beers, but I have never and will never buy a 750ml from them.

    15 ingredients just sounds unnecessary.

    Would it have made more sense to release this beer in the fall?

    Possibly, however it does say in the post:
    "This year we had an abundant harvest that left us with extra pumpkins after we brewer pumpkin patch ale. So rather than let our precious pumpkins rot in the field we decided to save them by freezing them whole and brewing a spring pumpkin wit."

    Sounds interesting to me; if the price is right then I might give it a shot.

    I'd love to see pumpkin ales brewed all year. Saturating the market, like what happens in Fall, that would not work. A few niche pumpkins would be welcomed by me. I'll try this if distro hits Virginia.

    This wouldn't sell at a much lower price point, let alone what Rogue charges for 750s.
    Maybe they recommend you freeze the beer before letting it thaw then drink it? Really captures the essence of the frozen pumpkins.

    Blech. Even if it wasn't Rogue I still wouldn't buy it.

    What is wrong with a spring "pumpkin wit" release?

    Something new and different, I dig pumpkin anything, so this will be a YES for me!

    I'm going to pass because as far as I'm concerned, pumpkin beers should only be stouts or porters. I would be much more interested in picking up a bottle of the Marrionberry Braggot if it wasn't $14 at the liquor store.

    I refuse to buy anything from this brewery until they put a date on their bottles. Pass
