It's been years since I tried Ichabod. I used to like it and everything else from New Holland, not so much anymore.

I still think Pumking is boss. I'm guess they may use lactose in it to give it that creme/sweet flavor.

Finished the Growler of the MadTree PumpCan. It was good, but not as good as the Rivertown Pumpkin.

Yea...if only. It was brought up in the second post, but the OP said, "Ain't nobody got time for that".

I didn't read the thread, just noticed it's redundancy and added my comment.

Hope this helps.

Reported OP to mods so the threads can be merged.

Hope this helps too.

Just kill yourself instead. Will be much more enjoyable than drinking a bottle of Pumpkinhead.

Well, at some point, drinking is drinking.

But we aren't kidding ourselves. It's not good.

Was it just me, or did it seem like stores were still trying to get rid of their Pumking from last year well into the spring this year?

I don't know that I'm interested in pumpkin ales this season. I may just try to get through as many barleywines as possible before stout season is in full swing.

Damn I love some pumking. I probably drink it a solid three months out of the year. But I don't drink much the rest of the year. IPA's, pale ales, and sour beers can fuck off.

It's good. I'm just tired of it. Seems like it was on the shelf for like 7 months this past year.

Yeah I'm usually burnt out by Thanksgiving. I do most of my beer shopping at Kroger and it seems after the holidays they start to phase it out.
