48. Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale


This may be the final Pumpkin/Fall beer of the year. Overall not a bad a beer but not a lot of flavor here. Nice color, slight pumpkin aroma but very little pumpkin or spice flavor. When I buy a pumpkin beer I expect to have lots of flavor and this was a bit disappointing in that regard. Not a bad beer but if you are looking for a fall or pumpkin beer there are a number of better choices available. 
Pros: Smooth, decent alcohol content
Cons: Very little flavor - pumpkin or otherwise 
Alcohol Content: 5.7% ABV
Calories: 185
IBU (Bitterness): 20??

Rating: ★★★☆☆
Brewers Website: Blue Moon Brewing Company
Brewers Description: Harvest Pumpkin Ale - Available September - November - Amber Colored Ale - Brewed with a bounty of fall flavors like vine-ripened pumpkin, allspice, cloves and nutmeg - Together with a touch of wheat, Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale has a smooth, lightly spiced finish. Pairs well with beef dishes and seasonal soups.
