But its good to just have one or two and sip. Tasty stuff. BTW, your team did pretty well. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Blue Moon has a new seasonal beer out. Anyone try it? No, but I love the seasonal Sam Adams out now. It's got a hint of pumpkin as well. The Winter Ale is the best though at that should be here in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I try all of Sam Adam's seasonal beers. They get pretty good ones but I can only drink a few before it is just overpowering and I have to drink a glass of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 There is a slight difference between Octoberfests (like Sam Adams fall seasonal) and Pumpkin ales. Octoberfests are mostly lager styles, and thus won't have as much of a spiced taste, whatever the spices may be. Pumpkin is of course a big one for the octoberfests. I still love the Sam Adams Octoberfest though, great beer for the season. Pumpkin ales though are the ale style so you can taste the spices better. Isn't Jacks brewed by Anheiser Busch? Either way, it's not that great, solid, but not great. If you really want a good Pumpkin Ale, try Dogfish Head's Punkin Ale, that thing is one great tasting brew. This thread reminds me that I need to make my fall stockup of fall beers soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSUHeckler Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 My bar used to have that Jack's Pumpkin on tap.... It was horrible. Everyone that had it disliked it. When we'd come in (off duty), we'd give each other pitchers of it as a joke - it was free so ya wouldn't pass it up, but it was still terrible. It was literally the only way we could get rid of the stuff. Blue Moon's is slightly better. So far I just haven't found a pumpkin-seasonal that I've even remotely enjoyed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be ok if you get the right brand, but holy crap...I had one once that tasted like pumpkin pie soda. It was nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winter Ale is the best though at that should be here in a few weeks. Ah... they are calling it Harvest Moon. Blue Moon also offers a Pumpkin Ale during the Autumn months. This variety contains the flavors of vine-ripened pumpkins and other autumnal spices. Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale is typically available in bottles from mid-September through December. In 2007, the name of this variety was completely changed to Harvest Moon. It contains 5.6% alcohol in a standard 12 fluid ounce bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissance Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Blue Moon has a new seasonal beer out. Anyone try it? I bought some Harvest Moon this weekend. It was good, but will be much better when it's not 95 degrees out I think I've had all the Blue Moon seasonals now and I have yet to be disappointed.

Larry Brown #43 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I dont mind it if it is not too strong. Nah, it's shouldn't be too stong for ya Mike. But if it is, I'm sure they make a nice non-alcoholic variety. :old silly smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28rdsknsfn28 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I like most of them as long as they have just a HINT of thre pumpkin and spices. My daughter and new son-in-law brought me back some from Utah. Wasatch Pumpkin Ale that is not very good but the Devastator Double Bock is pretty good.
