Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale

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

Sample from a bottle. Pours orange, tastes average... mostly malty with some pumpkin notes and mild spice. Given my dislike of pumpkin beers and the accompanying spices (nutmeg, particularly), I’d probably take this over quite a few better-rated beers in the style.

Nice spicy aroma. Taste is fairly complex - malty with some spices. However, it kind of falls flat. No doubt, it’s more complex than some beers, but it’s not the pumpkin ale that’ll win you over.

Clear amber color. Aroma is hardly what I call a pumpkin ale. It is mostly malts and wheat. There is a very weak pumpkin smell in the background, which smells a little rotten. Taste is mostly of malts, wheat, and spices. I think that the spices were supposed to make up the pumpkin flavor. This is a poor attempt at a pumpkin ale.

This is an ok beer,but I doubt you’d know it was a "pumpkin" beer if you didn’t read the label. Perhaps the gentle malt is doing it, but it seems pretty light and drinkable whereas I like more tasty spices.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a small off white head. Nose is lightly spicy with some pumpkiny notes. Palate is light to medium with a fizzy tickle. Flavors of light fall spices, nutmeg, pumpkin.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear amber with a one finger off-white head. The nose is spice and more fruit than pumpkin. The taste is malt, pumpkin seeds and fake tasting spices. Medium mouthfeel. Lakefront was the better of the three pumpkin beers tonight

Pours to a orange-copper body, large white foam head and is heavily carbonated with a slight hint of pumpkin and cinnamon to it. Very light body beer

Not that impressed. It was a watered down version of a fall beer but with all the bitterness. It was a little skunk, witch I don’t understand since its only a couple weeks old?
