Courtesy of the fine people at the Blue Moon Brewing Company (their website is worth the click) I have been gluttonously indulging in their autumn brew, Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale. This drinks quite simply like a frosty fall symphony in a glass.
The flavors are so subtle and complex I am almost compelled to describe them with the pretentious alternate spelling--flavour. Warm pumpkin, earthy fall spices, the tiniest whiff of sweetness all with without sacrificing a hearty heaping helping of rich beer flavor.
In the event you prefer something closer to a traditional, eastern European Oktoberfest fair try Affligem. Slightly less interesting on the palate but no less delicious. By the way... the history of the beer is equally delightful.
No recipe required here campers... just sit, sip and savor.
