Wow, now THAT is great. I wish you had done this a few months ago, cause I will be brewing mine before you get done with yours. I am really curious about the usefulness of the pumpkin. Please please please close the loop and post your results here.

Will do. I guess i'm a skeptic when it comes to "significant contributions" from a pumpkin other than color (my main concern). I believe the spice is what makes it pumpkin pie. Heck, trying baking 2 pumpkin pies: 1 with spices, one without and let me know the taste differences

Aw c'mon.  Even if you find that the pumpkin contributes zero flavor, texture, mouthfeel, color, etc. you HAVE to put pumpkin in a pumpkin ale. Don't you?
Otherwise we're no better than Miller Lite saying that they put hops in three times. :-P

Eh. if its less hassle and mess yet produces a superior product, why not?
That could be the gimmick: Pumpkin flavored beer without pumpkin!
Side-note: Some people brew a peach beer with apricots and vice versa.
MEGA EDIT!
It looks like somebody beat me to it. Here is an excerpt from "The Wort Hog Beer Blog:"

A related note to the home brewer: if making a pumpkin beer, skip the pumpkin and just go for the spices. You'll save yourself a lot of work.

The rest of the blog: The Wort Hog Blog
I will still proceed with my experimentation

Do you have a recipe ? I'm a man of cheap thrills; if it works, do it!

It used to be on every Ritz Crackers box. Don't know if that is still the case.
