NB Smasking Pumpkin or AHS Pumpkin Ale?

Looking at brewing a pumpkin ale for the fall season. Has anyone tried both of the kits mentioned above and can say which one they like more. Thanks.

I love and had many compliments on the AHS

It does seem like the AHS kit has more pumpkin flavor then the NB one. I think I will go with the AHS kit. Want to try different places.

I am going to be ording the one from Austin Homebrew next.
You can never go wrong with AHS!

I was looking at the NB Smashing Pumpkin myself, especially since Northern Brewer has all kits 15% off right now.

I had just went back and forth on this same question. I ended up ordering from NB because they had a few other kits I was interested in at the time. Something to keep in mind - NB's instructions say to add 2-3lbs of 6row if you plan on using real pumpkin.

How about the Midwest Pumpkin kit? Has anyone tried that one?
