I definitely can't wait until tomorrow to indulge in plenty of this stuff. I loved it last year, I just hope it isn't all gone when I get there. Pumpkin Ales seem to have a tendency of disappearing and never coming back to our area :evil: *cough*St Amboise*cough*

Terrific stuff. I prefer it slightly over the Great Lakes and by a fair margin over the St Ambroise.

I had some on tap and am sipping on a freshly filled bottle right now. Rob did well. This is at least as good as last years and of all the pumpkin ales available in this market the Highballer is the most warming and satisfying.
Aventinus rules!

Out of the 4 I tried this October (Grand River, Great Lakes, Post Road and St Ambroise) This was my favorite, with Great Lakes a close second.
