Never ever drink Ratzkonig a German Beer or Hudepohl Gold out of Cinni.  They are the only two beers I didn't enjoy.

It's a spring seasonal (criminally) but one of the seasonals I look forward to most.

I found the last 4-pack at my local weird beer dispencary, and...I love it. It's a imperial amber, which means..who knows what. Apparently it means delicious. This beer is worth a first, second, and third try.

not a big pumpkin ale kind of guy, but Harpoon's UFO Pumpkin tickled my fancy the other night and tickled it well (my fancy fancies a good tickling apparently).
Yup

Speaking of pumpkin, has anyone tried the Sam pumpkin yet?

Curious although I have my doubts

Did a taste test of the Harpoon UFO Pumpkin vs. Sam Harvest Pumpkin Ale Saturday, and Harpoon won with flying colors.  Sam's had a lot less pumpkin flavor and honestly looked and tasted like Octoberfest with a little cinnamon and pumpkin spice added. 

I'm venturing out this weekend to try to find a bomber of Sam's new Fat Jack double pumpkin this weekend (I think it's 8.5% abv).  I tried it on tap at Sunset Grill last fall so I'm excited to see that they released it for sale this year.  Definitely a more interesting take on the pumpkin beer.

Ive only had a troegs beer once and it was some winter beer with an elf on the cover.  It was strongggggggg

I read about the Fat Jack.  That's the one I'm definitely curious about.  The draft was alright?

Has anyone had Shipyards Smashed Pumpkin?

I just had the Shipyard Smashed blueberry which I didn't know existed. It was pretty good, 9% tasted a little chambordy.

Expensive and a little sweet so id probably go with 1 (22oz) rather than multiple

It's like 11%.  Good stuff for hanging out by the fire.

IP we came across a case of Nugget Nectar last month and have been hoarding it ever since.  But my latest batch of homebrew is an IPA that I malted the hell out of and is about the same color.  Hoping it winds up tasting similar.

Sorry to say I don't remember too much, as we had gone to the Sam Brewery and then Sunset, so needless to say I had quite the variety that day.  I do remember it was a much darker brown than the Harvest Pumpkin Ale, and had a good amount of kick given the ABV.  And if I hated it, I would have remembered that.  :P Considering Sam's bombers are pretty reasonably priced, it's certainly worth a try if you can find it.

Holy City Pluffmud Porter. It's killer. I think it is brewed here in Charleston.
