Blue Moon Full Moon Winter Ale

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Golden, Colorado USA

A decent beer overall, honestly, though a let down if one is expecting a real Dubbel... This brew is a little bland in taste, but aside from that has all the hallmarks of a decent abbey ale. Finishes a little sticky. The flavor is vague, alluding to apricot and toffee notes; You really have to reach for them however. Overall, fair to good.

Light off hazy amber with a gargantuan tan head, slowly fading head leaving behind streaks of lace. Aroma of sugar, malt, fruit, grain and mild alcohol. Taste of grape, apple and mild sugar. Pretty bland and not very good. Interesting that they attempted to make an abbey dubbel style, but possibly the worst of this variety I have tried.

(Bottle). Earthy malt aroma. Reddish amber body, off-white head. Bland somewhat sweet flavor, but hardly anything significant going on. Totally forgettable.

Pours translucent brown with a small tan head. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is also malt heavy, with sweet dried fruit. Medium body, really nothing special, but drinkable.

Smells really bad, like a pale lager. looks decent enough in the glass with a nice head. flavor is weird. actually tastes like a wet paper bag. i would not drink this with a goat i would not drink this on a boat. one of the worst beers ive had in a while

Bottle. Pours clear dark brown, mahogany in fact, with a small, frothy, off-white to light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, bread, caramel), light to non-existent hops, average yeast (leaves, dough, cheese) with notes of dates, brown sugar, and wet paper sacks. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness. Not a bad beer, and certainly warms the holiday mood. It is nice to see such a large brewer buck the norm and go for a less mainstream style.

nice brown beer with lovely dark malts plenty of caramel and touch of sweetness, medium body and kinda fizzy but the overall flavor is heavily and a great beer to enjoy for the winter

Clear red orange color with a fizzy light tan head that doesn’t do much. Weak metallic malt some plums and candi sugar aroma. More metallic malt tastes then sweet candied fruitiness.
