It had a strange cream flavor that affected its drinkability for me, but my girl loves that crap.

The DFH is one of the nicer pumpkin beers out there. The Southern Tier Pumking is much better, IMO - fuller bodied and more intense pumpkin & spice flavors. If you can get a hold of a bottle, the Midnight Sun Chocolate Pumpkin Imperial Porter is outstanding.

I am enjoying Bluemoon's offering though.


Exactly the opposite for me. I bought a (gasp) 12 pack of Harvest Moon last year. It's gross. I still have 3-4 bottles left.

While I'm not a huge DFH fan - I think their Punkin is pretty nice this year. Not too overpowering with spices like the Bluemoon one.
