12 oz bottle. Alright, let’s check out the latest Blue Moon ripoff from AB-Inbev. Pours cloudy orange with a medium white head that falls into a skiff of foam after a minute or so. I smell the citrus peels in the nose and that’s about it. Taste is dryly bitter with a bit of malt sweetness that attempts to balance things out. The citrus peels are very apparent. I’m used to my IPAs being citrusy--grapefruit especially--but this is different. It seems the citrus-ness here is not from the hops, but soley from the added citrus peels. Mouthfeel is creamy and the carbonation is average; body is light. Overall, it’s a different take on the IPA style--the wheat clearly alters the style profile--which I can appreciate, but it doesn’t leave much of an impression.

Hazy gold - fizzy, short-lived head - aroma is strong orange and lemon zest, with moderate acidity - texture is fairly creamy - flavor is yeasty and grainy - fairly strong orange flavor - medium sweet, but develops moderate acidity through the middle - a tad spicy in the finish - a bit flabby and thin in the finish - a little boring, but not terrible.

Some reps were giving free bottles of shock top products away at my local liquor store, so I grabbed this and my wife grabbed the regular - I figured, "even if they suck, free beer is free beer" - hazy dark copper pour - pillowy but short-lived head - nose is heavy on the clove and nutmeg, but also some notes of overripe banana, apple, tangy wheat, moderate earthy pumpkin - medium body, full carbonation - fairly sweet - cinnamon and nutmeg are fairly strong, as is the pumpkin - light acidity late - a touch of vanilla - not particularly Belgian, but aside from being a bit too sweet, it isn’t too bad of a pumpkin ale.

Purchased on my trip to Vegas at the Total Wine store. Pours a hazy golden colour with a small white cap that leaves decent lacing. Very nice smelling raspberry scent with hints of oranges and wheat. Very light tartiness in the mouthfeel, but just made to go down easy. The taste is a bit milder than the aromas, but still well-balanced between the fruit and the grain. Really not bad at all coming from AB (especially the part written about using the stuff at the bottom of the bottle).

Purchased on my trip to Vegas at the Total Wine store. First of two pumpkin ales tonight (the other being the Wasatch). Pours a hazy amber-golden colour with a fizzy off-white that disappears quickly and leaves a bit of lacing. Mild aromas of pumpkin and spices (nutmeg, cinnamon). Thin mouthfeel with just a little stickiness. Again, the taste is mild with the Halloween vegetable and spices (not much cinnamon in the flavours though). Not a bad pumpkin ale coming from AB.

Draft @ the local sports bar. Nothing going to surprise you here. Lively in carbonation. Light wheat beer taste. Not much different than the normal Shock Top but the cinnamon and nutmeg help it. I never would have guessed pumpkin if I didn’t know beforehand. I would say a watery butternut squash. Anyway…. Ok. A bit better than I would have guessed with AB making this stuff.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy cantaloupe with a medium off-white head that collapses pretty fast. Pumpkin pie spices are strong in the nose, but it smells like they’re backing a bland macro malt bill. Tastes like....V8?? There’s seriously a tomatoey-like vegetable flavor in here. WTF is in this thing? I also detect a little bit of a chemical flavor. High carbonation--too fizzy. Not all that bad, just really weird.
