Tasted much like Blue Moon’s Belgian White Ale. A slight hint of Pumpkin, but could taste other spices. Made the unfortunate move of drinking this after having another beer, so the flavor was not completely realized.

Despite being a Coors product I rather like the Blue Moon Wit so I was rather hopeful going into this beer. Of course that was before I found out that there was no actual pumpkin used in this beer. Hopes faded quickly. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bright orange color with a large orange-white head. The aroma is spicy with nutmeg and cinnamon elements and is not wholly unpleasant. The flavor is dry and spicy with nothing else of note. The spices on the flavor are rather unpleasant after the first sip or two.

Amber/copper body, medium light tan head. Sweet malt aroma with pumpkin spice. Flavor is quite light with biscuit and sweet malt accentuated by nutmeg and a touch of pumpkin. Reminds me of Cave Creek Chili Beer- "look, pa, this beer tastes like pumpkin!" Light, tame, and gimmicky.

Orange amber with a nice orangish-white head, and a sign that says "drink me," on the glass. Smells nothing like pumpkin- just has an "ordianry" beer smell. Taste is sweet and malty, but very little pumpkin. Decent spicing, but finishes more peppery, rather than with sweet spices. Unimpressed.

Amber coloured beer with a thick rsilient white head. Cardboard aroma (oxidation) with pumpkin spice coming nicely aftrwards, a bit cloying. Spices come out clearly in the attack in mouth with lingering, with a lot of sweetness and little bitterness. A bit too sweet for my taste but not bad. Medium bodied with a nicer balnce of spices and sweet.

Pours a clear rusty orange with some yellow streaks. Large creamy white head that has some yellow tinges as well. Aroma of actual pumpkin, not so much spice. Some sweet malt aroma. Begins with a cinnamon pumpkin flavor that quickly is backed by a medium to light malt backbone. Has some light sugary tones and a good caramel flavor. Slightly airy and bubbly with lots of carbonation. Texture is actually quite smooth however. Low acidity and slight bitterness on the finish. A little bit of nutmeg and some astringency.

2003 Batch:
Perfect amber colour with a very thin and fast fading off-white head. Smells of sugar and malt. The sugar being caramely. Medium-bodied; Strong maltiness in the flavour as well as a subdued sweetness. Aftertaste fairly mild, but still showing a bit of the malt and opening up to some spicey flavours. Overall, a decent beer, a bit worse than average for a style that i'm already not fond of. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York on 17-September-2003.
