Pours out a nice copper reddish color with a big white head. Light pumpkin pie aroma, but with a bit of sweetness. Smooth easy drink with a hint of pumpkin. Not an overpowering pumpkin flavor, but a decent autumn beer.

Bottle. Pours orange amber color with solid tan head. Sweet aroma with a hint of pumpkin. Pumpkin is missing in the flavor but a strong spicy, crisp flavor dominated by coriander.

Looks very nice with a thick full head and rich orange/amber color. Not much on the aroma, faint sweetness. Sweet, the spices are lacking. I don’t notice the pumpkin or the spices, more like an amber coors. blah.

Slightly darker than a pale yellow american beer with an orange hue. Foamy head even when gently poured. Medium low carbonation that turns watery in the mouth. Aroma is laid back with hints of odd veggie spice. Mild industrial bitterness begins to build on the back of the throat toward the finish. That bitterness morphs into a medium mild alky malt trait.

Now that the name has changed over to "Harvest Moon", which is not advertised here, I also notice the brew is slightly different than last year. I do not detect as much of a Pumpkin spice, as much as allspice and cloves. The brew is decent, but not my favourite for a Pumpkin Ale. Try Shipyard, much better.

THIS IS REGULAR BLUE MOON WHITE BEER, WITH A NICE LAID BACK RECESSIVE PUMPKIN SPICE FLAVOR. I LIKE THAT YOU REALLY CAN’T TELL AT FIRST MAKES IT MORE INTERESTING. GOOD MALT BASE THAT GOES WELL. THIS IS NOT A BAD BEER AT ALL. LITTLE BIT O’ HOPS IN THERE. HOP PROFILE AND CARBONATIONS IS JUST RIGHT- TO MAKE IT A PRETTY DECENT BREW. HHEEYYY I LIKE PUMPKIN!

Blah! I should have started with this in my pumpkin beer tasting! Aroma was nice...nutmeg, pumpkin and spices. All that it should be. Pour was typical of a pumpkin ale. Medium to dark brown with a thin off white ring for a head. Taste was almost awful. I’m not done with it yet and am not looking forward to the next sip. Great carbonation...but little in flavor. Tastes like mashed up pumpkin pie in seltzer water with a wierd minty aftertaste. Wierd I know. Blah.
