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

Considering Sam's bombers are pretty reasonably priced, it's certainly worth a try if you can find it.
