Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Spice/Herb/Vegetable
Golden, Colorado USA

Aroma, what aroma? Little to smell. This is amber color, little beige head, advertised as pumpkin with little to no pumpkin flavors, but more of cinnamon, nutmeg. Starts out better and finishes bland and watered down.

12oz bottle. Pours medium amber with a slight reddish hue, topped with a moderate-sized tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of malt, caramel, and light spice, namely, nutmeg. Flavor is malt, mild pumpkin flavor with cinnamon and spice, and some vegetal character. Pumpkin character is rather subdued. Thin bodied.

12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Pours orange-amber with a thin off-white head. Smells of dough and husky grains. Taste is sweet and grainy, very light amount of spice. No pumpkin to speak of. Not unpleasant, just bland.

best of the blue moon beers, and "pumpkin" would not be a true description of it, it’s more like the "chai tea" of beers

I don’t really like when more beer is orange number one. There wasn’t really much of a pumpkin flavor to it, just the spice flavor. very bland.

Fitting amber orange colour quite beautiful actually. Nose is mildly spiced that hints at a tangy flavour. Pumpkin comes through delicately much like real pumpkin does. Its not an exaggerated or candied pumpkin which I think many people want it to be. Im really liking this.

Light pumpkin brown sugar nose. Big head, light amber and crystal clear. Slight fruity sweetness, bitterness is clear. Thin, highly carbonated, kind of stale bitter finish. Almost no detectable pumpkin in this, not completely horrible, but a pretty weak attempt at a pumpkin ale.

Clear amber with even white head. Smells vegetal, sweet, and slightly plastic. Very soft and gentle mouthfeel and sticky palate. Sweet entry, bready finish. Mildly spiced, with pie crust evident. Creamy entry and thin finish but is much better than I had expected.
