Shocktop Pumpkin Wheat

Really good when ice cold. Not as pumpkiny as I hoped it would be

Don't mind if I do!

That beer is really similar to Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale ... I wouldn't be half-surprised if AB borrowed the recipe from this site!

Wow, that's good to know. I had bought the ST pumpkin wheat to see if it would be something I would like and was going to make the thunderstruck if I did. Thanks

i didn't taste any pumpkin in this at all...strong cinnamon and some nutmeg, so they probably just added spices

Yeah, that's why I am really not a fan of "pumpkin" beers - it's basically spices. Some people like them, I really don't.

I have made my own Pumpkin Porter, which had 3# of roasted and 3# of raw pumpkin - unique beer, tasty and had a brilliant orange head. Still, it had a mild pumpkin taste. No spices, either!
