Blue Moon Belgian White Ale

This is one definitely better on tap than bottled. And skip the orange -- it destroys the balance. To me, this is a pleasant white ale that is simple and cozy. Smooth flavor with citrus zest and coriander on the tongue. Fairly short finish and much better cold than warm. A perfect relax beer for any time of year when you just want to come home, collapse, and not think too much. If you’re not in the mood for the strong flavors of the IPA, Stout, or Porter, reach over for one of these.

Poured hazy golden yellow, simple, sweet, citrus, little grainy, little yeasty, little spice.

tried it with an orange wedge i really enjoyed it has nice orange color went well with hot wings

12-oz. Pours a murky medium toffeeish amber. Loose scattering of fizzy little bubble clusters but mostly headless. Laceless and legless to be sure. Mild, slightly sweaty coriander and toast nose. Creamy, medium, flat body. Cloying orangey sweet mid-palate. Not much complexity here, and not a lot of what flavor there is. Cloying, aspartame-y finish.

I was unimpressed with this as a wheat and in general. Strange thing is that I really enjoy all the Blue Moon seasonals.

On tap. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Floral aroma with spice and adjunct sweetness. Flavor is watery and sweet. This is like the pale lager macro swill of "Belgian Whites". Has a corn syrup sweetness, and yeastless flavor. Not very good at all.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a white head. Aroma of spices and fruit. Flavor oranges, fruit, and wheat. A pretty good mass produced beer.

Appearance: Light orange. Cloudy and some fine sediments. Little bit of white head. Aroma: Wheat and orange. Some hops and spices. Taste: Some wheat and citrus fruit. Quite watery. Info: 355ml bottle, 12/9-2009
