After nearly 5 weeks in the bottle, we tasted our Southern Tier Pumking clone (dubbed Pumqueen) at the end of October. It definitely has some good pumpkin spice flavors and a buttery taste reminiscent of Pumking. It's lacking a little bit of the alcohol bite of Pumking due to the lower ABV. Also, in my opinion, there's a tiny bit of an apple-like off flavor, but Amy disagrees. The Untappd check-ins from the few people who have tried it have varied from 2.5 to 4 stars (out of 5), so I guess some people think it's pretty tasty. All in all, it's not a bad first pumpkin beer for us. It was certainly fun to brew with how involved it was - the roasting pumpkin, creating our own spice extract, etc. And ending up with a pumpkin-flavored drinkable result makes it that much more fun.
