What does this have to do with a beer review? My Google Photos are updated through 8/24- but I took picture of this weeks beer: Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin last week so it's not uploaded. My executive decision at this point is to do my blog post anyway. Maybe I'll get a picture uploaded here tomorrow and without further ado, here is my review!
Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin:
ABV: 5.7
Cost $8.49 at Meijer
I chose to start my reviews with this beer because it was on sale. This one is easily found in any grocery story or mass market retailer. I have had it before and enjoyed it in the past. I purchased a 6-pack and tried one cold. I sampled the Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin which cooking so by the end of the bottle it was getting warm. When you take a swig of this beer you can taste malt and a bit of your favorite Fall spices cinnamon, cardamon, and cloves. I would personally enjoy a stronger hit of the spices. The ABV was higher than I would have guessed. It's a smooth beer and I would have assumed it didn't break 5%. The aftertaste is a little bitter and the beer itself is best served cold. When it warms up, I find it too malty for me to enjoy.
Would I buy this again? Maybe, if I was sharing the 6-pack with others and if I had an Ibotta rebate. In case you aren't familiar, Ibotta is an app you can use to get rebates on purchases at grocery and other stores. You click on a store, add the rebates that interest you and then when you get home you scan your receipt in the app and $ is added to your account. You can redeem your rebates for various gift cards or transfer the money to your PayPal account. I'm saving my earnings for Christmas shopping. Here is a referral link : My Ibotta Link
This weekend I'm going with Tom to a local brewery's Oktoberfest and I plan to try at least one beer to blog about-stay tuned for that!
Happy #ThirstyThursday!*
*and I just realized I should do my pumpkin beer reviews every week on Thursdays. You heard it here first; I'm making it a thing!
