I posted this in the extract brewing page but I think this would be the better post location option. I'll copy the post made in the other thread

I am a big fan of most of the Sam Adams brews, the seasonals in particular. Last year the pumpkin spice ale they had in the fall was fantastic. I couldn't keep any at the house for any extended period of time so I'm looking for something that I can make here at home.

Has anyone tried that brew or have suggestions for a good spicy pumpkin ale? I actually enjoyed the stronger spice flavor in it, has enough of that spice to feel like a fall holiday.

Pretty new to brewing but the couple brews that I have made have been extract. I have a brewer's best irish stout that I plan on starting to be ready for late fall/winter and have the white house honey ale and honey porter that are carbing in bottles right now. I see a pumpkin ale kit on Midwest supplies. http://www.midwestsupplies.com/pumpkin-ale.html

Haven't found much more around than that, I'm open to any suggestions from y'all. Cheers!
 
Forgot to add, an extract recipe would be the ideal choice as I haven't gone to mash yet, but I guess this could be the time to give it a try
 
I always look for a SA Harvest pumpkin clone to compare with but never find anything. Here is what I think may work but have not brewed it yet.
