Just kegged my AG pumpkin ale from Northern Brewer, and it is fantastic. They provide a small spice pack with the kit, which didn't lend much to the final product. You get small hints of clove, nutmeg, etc, but definitly very small amounts. So you if you do brew it and are looking for alot of pumpkin spice, I'd add another pack.

Overall the beer came out great. I'm in the habit now of adding .5 lb of Dextrin to all my beers, makes a huge difference in the body. Used 05 for the yeast.

I agree, this is a great beer. I actually tripled the spices when I made it and it came out great. 1/3 at flameout, 1/3 in secondary, and 1/3 at bottling.
