    Its hit Denver, I know Mile High got it in a few days ago. Will probably pick one up tomorrow since I have to go pick up a couple bottles they are holding for me

    Heard about this beer. A store near me is getting it and I'm gonna try picking one up. It's nice to see something new being done with pumpkin aside from spiced beers.

    I found it supremely interesting, but can't see myself ever purchasing another one (unless I was doing a pumpkin centric tasting).

    Had a bit of funk and mild lactic tartness, but the pumpkin pie spicing was the dominant flavor / aroma. Worked well in a larger tasting setting as I'm not sure anyone would have wanted more than 5-6 ounces.

    Now if only Fantome Boo would come out I could complete my weird pumpkin beer quest (timmermans pumpkin lambic, Alpine Ichabod 09, Ghoulschip, etc...)

    Cheers!

    I think it sounds interesting. I bought a bottle of it earlier today, but I probably won't drink it until next weekend.

    I really enjoyed this one...not overly sweet, with nice pumpkin/pumpkin pie spice notes and a little tartness to it. I seem to be the first to say I'd drink it again

    Make me the second, then. I enjoyed it. My dad - who never drinks beer - even asked for a second taste. My wife - who does drink beer - asked for a second glass. I found it interesting, new and refreshing (in a fall sorta' way).

    Yeah, I only kind of liked this. It was more on the tart and less on the pumpkin that I was hoping for. I barely got any sweetness before it went to sour and that kind of threw me off of what I was hoping for. Still, worth a one-shot try.

    My wife had a glass of this last week. She's starting to get into sours(way more than myself) and she liked it. It wasn't as bad(re: sour) as I thought it would be, but I didn't want another sip. She also really liked the fact that it was low alcohol too.
