Buffalo Bill's Original Pumpkin Ale:
Gee, that's a really special pumpkin brew. Medium-bodied ale (on the lighter side of medium) with a little pumpkin flavor and a little spicy flavor and a little beer flavor and it tastes exactly like pumpkin ale should taste. Extremely even-tempered and assertively subtle. Ok, no one really knows what that means but I guess what I'm trying to say is: "Gosh, that's just right."
My tastes lean toward a bigger beer with more body, more style, more sexiness. But Buffalo Bill's gives just enough. Really smooth and drinkable despite a tell-tale pumpkin flavor. Not overdone at all. I really think that most pumpkin ales (not all, mind you, but most) are shooting for a certain something. Most brewers miss that mark. Buffalo Bill's Original Pumpkin Ale does not.

Betty,
Sorry you didn't enjoy Buffalo Bill's. I really liked it. Smuttynose Pumpkin is similar but takes it to the next level. If you are looking for a gentler pumpkin octane, try the Shipyard. Do you like jazzy and daring? Wine-like Dogfish Head Punk might be for you. For over-the-top pumpkin pie in a glass, do the Southern Tier Pumpking. Let me know the results!
Yours,
El Presidente
