A Rash of Pumpkin

Here they come,
I mean everybody and their brother down the street is hauling out a pumpkin beer this year.

I confess that it has been years since I tried one, given the nasty experience I had once.
I guess I just think yuck!!!  …and I do like pumpkin, you know…in pie…or as roasted salty seeds. :wink:

So tell me, have these beers changed?  Are they more subtle? 
Can you recommend one that might not ruin me to the “style” for another 5 years?
