Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale
GLASS: Pint Glass TEMP: Cellared @ approx 45 degrees Deep golden color with orange tints. Minimal head of foam with no retention. Minimal lacing. Nice mellow smell of pumpkin, pie spices and some sweet maltiness. Same spice notes as the nose. No real pumpkin presence. Slight malt flavor. Overall, pretty bland. Thin and waterey. Not appealing. Minimal creaminess, almost as an afterthought. This makes me sad. Blue Moon used to be one of my faves, before Coors bought them out, some years ago. Being well aware of this, I've stayed away from their products for awhile now. Since I was craving Pumpkin beers, I thought I'd give this another chance. This is a pale imitation of past glory.
