There are a lot of Pumpkin Ales here on homebrew talk that have come out great; we are a huge Pumpkin fans and have an awesome recipe we've been using for some time now.
Since you're looking for extract we have this recipe from a customer who brought it in and I believe it came from someone on HBT however I do not know who.
Extract:
9 lbs. Light DME
1 lb. Victory
12oz. Caramel 80L
2 lbs. Pumpkin Baked at 350 for an hour, coat with honey, molasses, and spices prior to baking. (Added to boil at 10)
1 lb. Brown Sugar (added to boil after hot break)
.75 oz Magnum @ 60
.25 Sterling @ 15
.5 Tsp of Clove + Nutmug + Allspice @ 5 min
2x Safale US-05
2 Vanilla beans in the secondary
Hope that helps!!
Most commercial examples of pumpkin ales are just amber ales with pumpkin pie spices, sometimes with a tad more crystal 60 just to get that "orange" color instead of amber. Most commerical examples also don't even have pumpkin in them at all.
