Discussion
was a big hit at brew festival

I had many comments that this was the best Pumpkin Ale at the fest (there were several micro's and a couple of other home brews present). The "secret" is to keep the IBUs low enough for the pumpkin and spices to shine through without the hop bitterness interferring.
