Southern Tier Pumpking

We went through a number of pumpkin beers last night, mainly for sampling. I'll start with this one:

Very different than many of the pumpkin beers out there, and has a very pronounced pumpkin taste. I know some people compare it to whipped pumpkin pie, but you know what? I like pumpkin beer in general but I hate pumpkin pie, so maybe that's why I don't like it that much. The main thing that I'm not fond of is probably what attracts so many people to it on Beer Advocate. It just has a very strange taste throughout, perhaps if it was toned down a bit it would make for a more pleasant drinking experience
