I brewed this and it turned out technically okay. It looks like amber ale. It pours with a nice thick head. It smells like pumpkin spices and beer. The initial flavor is the prototypical beer taste with a hops and spices. But the aftertaste is like squash. So if you like the taste of pumpkin, not pumpkin pie spices, this brew is okay. I was disappointed.

The squash aftertaste from my previous post has disappeared from the brew. The aroma resembles Anchor Christmas Ale with the flavor of real pumpkin in the background.
