Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin


For my mom's birthday, my wife, the original pumpkin beer lover, picked up a six-pack of Blue Moon's pumpkin offering.  As a relatively wussy beer drinker, I found this entry to be a bit too rich for my blood with a pretty bitter aftertaste.  The bigger problem: only a slight hint of pumpkin.  Why are so many beers claiming pumpkin taste then burying the lead with other bold flavors? If I wanted Mega-Hoppy Dark beer, that's what I'd be buying.  I left this one on the table for a while and, when I returned to sip my warm beer, I found that some of the intensity had vanished and the overall taste markedly improved.  So, an overall OK experience.
