Pumpkin Harvest Ale created for the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival is brewed with a variety of Pale and Crystal Malts and pumpkins. It is a pale ale with pumpkins added to both the mash and the boil. The pumpkin flavor is noticeable but subdued so the beer is balanced in flavor. The normal hop aroma and flavor of a typical pale ale have been reduced in order to allow the pumpkin character to come through.

    Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 4 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

    Sampled 11/26/2009. This pumpkin ale pours a medium orange pumpkin color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is malt, some pumpkin, iced tea and sweet. A medium bodied pumpkin beer. The malts are caramel, ice tea and some pumpkin. Hops are earthy and floral. Interesting, but the crystal malts stand out more than anything else. I realize they were trying to emphasize the pumpkin flavors, but pick a different malt than crystal then. Kind of bland and tepid tasting. Lively carbonation. Unlike most other pumpkin beers I’ve had lately the flavors do not open as it warms. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
