Name: Hipp-o-lantern Imperial Pumpkin Ale, by Riverhorse Brewing Co.
Origin: Ewing, NJ
ABV: 8.1%
Description: This beer is nicely malty and smooth. Less strong pumpkin and spice flavor then I would have liked, but an enjoyable brew overall. Stronger then some of the others I've had (Uinta, shipyard, or longtrail) but definitely not as strong of a flavor as my favorites.
Rating: 6
Name: Post Road Pumpkin Ale, by Brooklyn Brewery
Origin: Brooklyn, NY
ABV: 5%
Description: This beer seems more like pumpkin ale light to me. The flavor is barely pumpkin, and the beer in general is lighter then my preference. I like a full robust flavor and this one just falls short, period.
Rating: 2
Name: Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale
Origin: Hayward, CA
ABV: 6%
Description: This beer has a beautiful label that definitely drew me in. Well its attractive packaging was this beers high point for sure. Similarly to the Post Road, above, this beer lacked any oomph. Sure, it didn't taste BAD, but for me if the beer is lacking the pumpkin and spice notes that are anticipated I just can't give it a good rating. Props to the designer though :)
