Pumpkin Pie?

Well here goes my first beer review. Now, if you want indepth, beer snooty, exact hops types bullshit talk I suggest you check out sites like and of course . Me? I'll just say whatever the fuck I want to say. So...here...we....go....


Southern Tier - Pumking

Now, I heard that this is the pumpkin beer to have. 9% ABV and made with real pumpkin. How could this possibly be bad?! After some reading and messaging among friends, a good friend (who will now to refer to as "Agoraphobic") brought back a few bottles of this to try. I got them in and chilled them for a day. When the time came, I cracked a bottle open to help me pass some time waiting for Spot to come home. I poured the bottle into a regular pint glass,and you could smell the pumpkin right off the bat. The spices you can smell remind me of pie, but not too much as everyone says. I take a hearty gulp and the beer tastes like pumpkin. But not as much as pumpkin pie as everyone says. the aftertaste, on the other hand, taste like corn. This too me is nothing like pumpkin pie. The corn aftertaste I can handle and as the beer warms up, its gets a bit spicer. All in all, I would drink this again.

4/5 Sometimes the spices may be a bit overpowering but the taste is really good. But, with most people that tried it, you either love it or hate it.
