Picked up two 6ers last night at the store on my way home.

Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale

I've had the 60 min before and it's one of my favorite IPA's. I've also had the 90 min version as well but I tend to enjoy the 60 more. The Smuttynose Pumpkin is new to me though. I cracked open one as soon as it was relatively cool and really enjoyed it. The Smutty didn't have the overwhelming pumpkin pie spice flavor many pumpkin ales have. There was a nice balance of maltiness, spice, and actual pumpkin flavor. Definitely one of the best Pumpkin Ales I've tried. If you enjoy Pumpkin Ale I would definitely recommend this one and also Shipyard's Pumpkin Ale. Although the Shipyard version has stronger spice flavors.
