    Been wanting to try it, but don't think we are getting it here, the distributor doesn't know anything about it. Had a couple of people ask for it.

    Had it a few weeks ago on draft. I had never heard of it before, and the bar was serving it in pints (usually serve anything over 8% in goblets, pumking included). Ended up having 3, I out it right up there with pumking and dfh punkin, very tasty IMO.

    I tried a combination of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout with ST Pumking layered or mixed it was interesting.

    Paid 7.99 in MI for a single bottle. I actually really enjoyed it and would place it as one of my fav's for this style. You can taste the pumpkin and know its a pumpkin ale, yet you still know your drinking a very well crafted beer and not liquid pumpkin pie. For sure a must try IMO if your into this style.

    I thought it was good, but overly spiced. I paid $5.69. I thought it was worth it.

    $4.99 here. I agree with overly spiced but then again I'm not a fan of big boozy, fat bodied, overly spicy pumpkin beers. It was just ok for me. I much prefer the SA Harvest Pumpkin to Fat Jack and to be honest many others as well.

    I liked it. Not my favorite, but I would drink it again. Think I paid $7.99 for it.

    This was a drainpour for me, as I thought it was the textbook definition of "cinnamon beer".
    Kinda gross.

    The only two fall beers I like are Bruery - Autumn Maple and Avery - Rumpkin

    Had it on tap at the Big E and it was tasty. The pumpkin wasn't overpowering until it warmed up.
