BOOZE TYPE: Beer
PRICE: $9.99 at the bodega across the street
RATING: A-
Yeah, I had all my ratatat about it not yet being the right weather for pumpkin ales in my last post, but then, after drinking off the rest of that Bluepoint IPA, I decided I needed more beer and staggered across the street to pick up something else. My boozing companion Arielle had mentioned that Blue Moon had a pumpkin brew, and when I saw it, I basically couldn’t resist.
However, Arielle had described it as tasting basically exactly like regular Blue Moon, and by gum, she’s right. It does have a very pleasant aftertaste of pumpkin spices, though. This actually made it a perfect choice for this not-quite-summer/not-quite-fall time of year. It’s still light enough on the tongue to not weight you down at the end of the summer heat, but it has a really great promise of fall. A perfect September beer.
BUY IT AGAIN: For another month, sure.
