Acetaldehyde - My beer smells like fresh pumpkin!

[hawkeyes]

Hello,

I brewed an All Grain Amber and just kegged it a few days ago. Now that it's carbonated it smells exactly like fresh pumpkin. I know this is Acetaldehyde, is there anything I can do? Would aging help? If so, should I take the keg out of my keezer and let it age warm?

I'd take it out and let it condition at room temp for a week or two. The residual yeast should be able to clean it up a bit.

Just leave it like it is and tell people you are doing Octoberfest early this year............
