Havest Moon, a seasonal from Blue Moon

Harvest Moon is a pumpkin and nutmeg spiced ale from the brewers of Blue Moon beer. I was wary of trying this one at first due to the pumpkin spice, but it was unnecessary.

The color is an amber-orange, with a relatively decent head retention. It is not at all overcarbonated; the carbonation is well balanced, in fact. The aroma consists entirely of nutmeg, which is a welcome change for a seasonal; I admit this is because I love nutmeg. It tastes vaguely of pumpkin and has a dry mouthfeel. The sweetness overpowers the bitterness of the hops, which is to be expected from a seasonal. Aftertaste is predominantly pumpkin flavored.

The malt in this beer is absolutely undetectable which would make this beer a very good beverage for the inexperienced beer drinker or for those that are not yet used to beer's bitterness.

By the way, it complements Keebler's Pecan Shortbread Sandies surprisingly well.
