I agree. I never heard of it, but when I had it, it is really good. But, it depends what you're looking for in a pumpkin beer. Whole hog is the one I go to when i really want that pumpkin pie flavor in a beer.
Shipyard's elevated ABV "Smashed Pumpkin" is absolutely phenomenal. I believe it's only on draft or 22oz bottles, at least here in San Diego. Damn it's good. 8.5% I believe, so almost double their Pumpkinhead.
the southern tier pumking and the arcadia jaw jacker were my 2 favorite pumpkins, but this year i think both have fallen off a bit. Not sure why the ones i got were bad but the arcadia was bad tasting and the ST was just not how i remembered it. So now i am gonna say that the punkin ale by dogfish is now my favorite.
