Smells like sparkling cider, sweet wine. Maple syrup sweet, good lightly toasted malt. OK, but nothing special.

...not as good as the Regular Blue Moon. Not a bad attempt at a complex winter ale, but still could be worse. Roasted and malty flavor, with not so great mouthfeel or flavor.

I don’t think this is really any better than the standard stuff. Not an abbey dubbel that I recognize. Pours a coppery color with a smally, fizzy, tainted head which goes quickly, but leaves a small amout of lacing. Taste was more than forgettable. Dy and fizzy mouthfeel. Not great.

Pretty sub standard beer. I dont mind the regular blue moon, but this one is not very good. It is almost sour and has weird flavors both on the initial tasting and the aftertaste.

Pours a fairly clear, copper color with a moderately full, off-white, creamy head which has fair lasting ability but nice lace. Nose is similar to an amber lager with faint caramel, rust, and some maybe some bready hints. Flavor is similar; lagerish, somewhat acidic, light dark candi sugar notes and maybe faint sweet bread. Palate is very lively, moderately light, and watery. Finishes crisply with lingering brown sugar notes and the same offputting rust notes. A poor example of a Belgian and full of unpleasant flaws.

I like this beer. It has a refreshing taste That is great with a meal. Full body taste that does not leave a bitter after taste.

I wish I could find something nice to say about this beer but I have yet to come up with anything. Aroma was beery and maybe a little citrusy. Flavor was musty and slighty sour. A seriously lacking attempt at a Belgian ale. I sort of wonder if maybe I got a bad bottle??
