I had some pretty awful Pumpkin Ale one fall. I'll avoid any of those in the future.
This sounds pretty awful, too.

I actually tasted three different pumpkin beers at a Bevmo once while they had a tasting going on. They basically went, super strong pumpkin flavor, medium pumpkin flavor, low pumpkin flavor. I didn't mind the latter two, but the first was a bit too much.
I haven't had the Beam Maple, but someone did buy me a shot of Crown Royal Maple. Cannot say that I'd ever drink that sickly sweet stuff again. There's about a million flavors of vodka available now too, and I think they all sound awful. Birthday cake flavored? Cinnabon? Whipped cream? All of those flavors are made by Three Olives which makes it bittersweet for me as I really enjoy
regular Three Olives vodka.
