Searching for the Great Pumpkin

Catching up on a lot of posts today:

Just finished my six pack of Smuttynose Brewing Co. Pumpkin Ale last night and I have to say I wasn't all that impressed. Reviews on RealBeer.com talked about its subtle pumpkin and spice flavor, but it was a little too subtle for me. I'm not looking for a pumpkin pie taste, but I didn't taste or smell anything resembling pumpkin or spices. It wasn't a bad tasting beer, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

I may search out another pumpkin ale before the fall is over. And on the strength of their Old Brown Dog ale, I'll keep trying other Smuttynose brews.
