The verdict:: The pumpkin is subtle, but Punkin still tastes like fall thanks to all spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of brown sugar. Perfect for: A better football-watching party than your neighbors The verdict:: Neither the pumpkin or spice is overpowering, but it all blends together in a way that says, “keep drinking me I’m only 5.5%!” Perfect for: Gearing yourself up for the onslaught of Trick-or-Treaters. This was one of the best balanced beers of the bunch-darker, maltier and full-bodied. The verdict:: They may be just a few barrels shy of mass-produced but Sam Adams often beats the craft brewers at their own game. It’s a mildly pumpkin beer, but very drinkable. The verdict:: This is a year-round pumpkin beer, ‘cause that’s how they roll out in California. The verdict:: A flavorful beer with more hops and even malts peeking through the always-present pumpkin notes-all the more surprising since this is technically a pumpkin lager, not an ale. Perfect for: Carving a masterpiece in your jack-o-lantern The hoppiest beer of the bunch, The Great Pumpkin is a little soapy on the head but with hints of spice that still make for a tasty fall beer. That’s not to say that it’s not still yummy. The verdict:: Heavy Seas took the best name for a pumpkin ale, but it’s a PINO (pumpkin in name only). I personally had it at #2, so if you have a taste for farmhouse ales, this is something special. Our tasting panel either loved it or hated it, which is pretty much the case with any beer this sour. This cranberry and pumpkin sour is delicious and very much the flavor outlier of the bunch.

The verdict:: New Belgium’s Kick should have turkeys on the bottle instead of pumpkins. The verdict:: In addition to pumpkin and spices, molasses gives Tommyknocker an almost smoky malt flavorĨ.
