So, on Saturday my Father-in-law surprised us by having us over, and we tasted 4 different pumpkin ales..
Shock Top
Smutty Nose
Blue Moon
one more, i can't remember <<-- Gary, can you help?
the Shock top, and the one i can't remember the name of, we're ok.. nothing great about them, couldn't really taste the pumpkin in them... but still drinkable, but really just a few brown ales..
the Smutty Nose pumpkin ale had so much hoppiness in it, it tasted more like a IPA than a pumpkin ale, again not bad, just couldn't get the pumpkin flavor in it..
and finally the Blue Moon, had a lite pumpkin flavor to it.. but more than any of the others.. if i were judging this solely on the pumpkin flavor this would win hands down.. i was shock'd that blue moon "won" this taste test..
On a side note, now i know that i'll probably want to double the ammount of pumpkin i add to my homebrew'd pumpkin ale on the 22nd of September.. i still need to research a little bit more, but i have the time to do it
