Seasonal Pumpkin Ale

Audrey is still in Florida with her mom recuperating from shoulder replacement surgery. With Halloween approaching I've already purchased pumpkin seed coffee from Fairway. Tonight I'll compare 2 domestic pumpkin ales and we'll see how the seeds fall.
Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale: Color-Clear dark amber Nose-Fresh First taste-Smooth Observations-Nice taste Fizziness-Average head; active bubbles Where Brewed? Golden, Col.(Molson-Coors) Cost-$1.16 Style-Pumpkin Ale Saying-6 spices & crystal malt Aftertaste-Steady Rating-7.5
Smuttynose Pumpkin Ale: Color-Cloudy amber Nose-Spicy First taste-Medicinal Observations-Smoother on second sip Fizziness-Average head; light carbonation Cost-$1.20 Style-Pumpkin Ale Saying-Cucurbin Pepo (Pumpkin) Aftertaste-Too sharp Rating-7
Final Thought-Blue moon slightly more tasty!!!
