So i brewed a pumkin beer the fall of 09, i was still pretty new to brewing. I did a partial mash amber base with half a whole pumkin. I think i put a teaspoon of the regular spices and 3 whole cloves, the cloves ended up in the fermenter(big mistake). So the beer turned out like crap, or at least i thought so. My friend however loved it and wanted it, so we haphazardly bottled it and he took most of it home. If he could have kept it to him self it would have been fine, but he shares it with some other people i know. The guy who kinda helped me do my first brews takes one swig and spits it out in the sink in disgust. So the pumkin beer has turned into a bit of a running joke, to this day i get bugged about it.
Heres the best part though, i found the last surviving bottle of it last month. And you know what, it was pretty decent, the cloves had died way down. Only took a year and a half haha.
