One of the better eggnogs I've tasted this holiday season. It's nice and thick with no artificial flavor. It doesn't have much in the way of nutmeg flavor however. Buy it and add your own nutmeg.

The eggnog starts out rich and creamy as a good nog should. After a few moments of waiting for the pumpkin to kick in you find it is sorely lacking. You might as well just whip it and put it on top of pumpkin pie. It's OK. Buy if there is nothing better around.

Going into this testing I had very low expectations as I've never considered Hood products to be of all that high a quality. I was pleasantly surprised to find this actually has a decent pumpkin flavor. The eggnog was thinner than I prefer and had a little bit of an artificial after flavor but add a little nutmeg and clove spice and you have a decent pumpkin eggnog. It's OK and will do in a pinch.

A number of people recommended that I try Trader Joe's Eggnog so I must admit, I had high expectations when I finally did. Luckily it is a good nog besides being light on the nutmeg. It is nice and thick with a good flavor that doesn't taste artificial. I could barley taste any nutmeg so I recommend adding some (you do have nutmeg on hand right?) before consuming. Above average. Recommendation: buy with nutmeg.

Provides a delicious rich and creamy flavor but it is more of a vanilla cream flavor and less of an eggnog flavor. It is very enjoyable but don't expect the traditional eggy taste. Different but good. Recommendation: buy.

Oakhurst delivers a delightfully rich and creamy nog. While it could do with an extra pinch of nutmeg at times Oakhurst has wonderful flavor that is top notch. Among the best. Recommendation: buy

Nice thick eggnog but it leaves a slight artificial flavor and could use a little more nutmeg. Better then average. Recommendation: buy.

An average eggnog that gets the job done but just barely. If other better options are available go with them. It is a little too sweet and doesn't have the rich creamy thickness it should. While it doesn't have a fake chemical taste, Clover isn't exactly bursting in any flavor and will certainly need lots of added nutmeg. Average. Works in a pinch.

Rich and creamy. Not quite enough nutmeg. Don't try the vanilla flavor. Better then average. Recommendation: Buy.

Not enough nutmeg. Cheap sweetener flavor. Terrible. Recommendation: Don't buy.

Good amount of nutmeg. Flavor is a little weak. Better then average. Recommendation: Buy. Eggnog review: Organic Valley Eggnog , originally uploaded by 4braham .
