Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale
Poured from a 12oz brown bottle into a standard pint glass. The date "February 6" is printed on the neck, maybe a drink by date? Appearance: Pours a medium brown with a definite orange/red hue to it. Lots of head, maybe 2 inches. This falls after some time. Perfectly clear. Smell: Sweet, with a hint of sourness to it. Nothing real strong in the way of spices or hops. Taste: Not as pumpkin-y as I expected. The first taste is sweet, followed by an unusual taste that eventually grows to resemble pumpkin and pumpkin spices. A little bit of a metallic aftertaste. Mouthfeel: Carbonation is average, maybe a little high. Beer has a decent body to it. Drinkability: Not the best pumpkin beer I have tasted, but it is better than the average offering from Coors. I give them credit for branching out with the Blue Moon line. This bber is refeshing, but seems somewhat restrained by Coors desire to not get too crazy.
