Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Wheat: An Amateurish Beer Review

A seasonal pumpkin beer from a major brewery trying to masquerade as a craft microbrew. What could go wrong?

"Creatively brewed to complement the traditional flavors of the season, Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Wheat combines cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon along with real pumpkin. It's the perfect choice for whenever friends gather around the table."

To be honest, I can barely taste any pumpkin, although there is a definite pumpkin spice flavor. A bit much, to my mind. There's an almost cloying sweetness to the malt, and very little hops. It's watery, and not very carbonated. 5.7% ABV is above average for a major brewery like Coors, for whatever that's worth.

All told, I'd suggest giving this seasonal brew a pass in favor of something else unless you're really a fan of pumpkin-spice-everything this time of year.
