Awhile back, I put up a batch of pumpkin ale from a Midwest Supplies kit. I doubled the pumpkin amount, as highly recommended from all the reviews I read, and added much more spice, also recommended. Come drinking time, the beer was okay but no real unique flavor at all. I couldn't taste the pumpkin or the spices and was wondering if this is a common thing with this beer. It was fairly disappointing from a flavor standpoint but served the purpose of having a cold one while watching the tube!
