Blue Moon Belgian White Ale

I don’t care what everybody says - this is a nice subtle light wit. The coriander realy comes through, and makes for an easy drink.

On Tap at the Clocktower Bar, Coors Field, Denver 27/09/2009 Floral hop aroma. Golden coloured hazy in appearance and hoppy with a crisp slightly dry and creamy malt finish.

On tap at Olive Garden. Cloudy blond with a thin head. Citrus hops with faint malt taste. I turned down the offer of an orange slice. Surprisingly pleasantly with soup and salad.

Draft: Poured a hazy orangey color ale with a small foamy had with average retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of sugary wheat malt with light bubblegum notes. Taste is bit too sweet for the style with some bubblegum notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad too not spiced enough with too much residual sugar.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a hazy lemon yellow color with a large creamy, fizzy head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is bready with bitter citrus notes. Taste is peach, banana, bread and a nutty finish. Medium bodied.

22 oz. bottle- Pours hazy orange with a dissipating head, aroma is wheat and very fruity. The flavor is the same, a very drinkable yet mass produced craft beer.

Bottle, The Peacock, Liverpool. Served with a slce of orange...Clocked this was from Coors and feared the worst. Poured a hazy orange colour with a fast fading head. Wheaty and vaguely spicy citrus aroma. Pretty watery flavour with slight citrus notes. Probably needed the orange slice to beef the flavour up. Rather uninspiring fayre really and a pity this is masquerading as a ’north american craft beer’ over here when its brewed by a megabucks brewer and is far from a shining example of the genre. Avoid.

Sampled many times over the past ten years. Pours a semi-hazy pale golden colored brew with a fast dissolving white head. Aroma of golden grain malt, coriander, a hint of yeast and some grassy hops. Taste is light bodied, lots of carbonation with flavors of golden grain malt, coriander some orange zest and a touch of yeast. Finish is light crisp with very little fruit aftertaste.
