Commercial Description:
Pale Moon is a drinkable pale ale that has a distinctive hop aroma without the lingering aftertaste. This Belgian-Style Pale Ale is brewed with European malts, Cascade hops, and a touch of hibiscus and orange peel. These ingredients create a rich copper colored ale with a flavor complexity that one would expect from the Blue Moon Brewing Company.

Preetah shittah. bland flavor, bitter, but just tasted like a really bad amber. Belgian? Who says?

Short 12oz twist-off bottle. Finally, another from the Blue Moon Series! Brewed with Cascade Hops, Orange Peel and Hibiscus. What is a Coors without orange peel?.. not a Blue Moon, I say. Orange copper color. White foamy head. Aroma of juicy oranges, and citrus hops. It is a surprisingly nice combination. Flavor is a pale malt, some caramel, light citrus, some orange zest. Not to balanced, still better than the rest of the series. Overall, I don’t think I’d offer this to any guest at my house. Rating #1925

A light aroma and taste of floral hop, but that’s about it. There just isn’t too much going on in this brew. Leave it on the shelf.

Poured into a pint glass. Light rust colored with a fizzy thin head. Head falls quick, no lacing. Smells slightly of a spicy yeast, green apple, and wet dog. Taste isnt terrible at first, a little spicy, a little sour, but then is tastes like a BMC pils. Body is thin and tastes like corn mash. Overall, not as bad as I imagined, but pretty terrible. On the plus side, I could drink this all day long.

Blue Moon aroma, but with a hop presence. Dark copper color with fluffy head. Hops are more plentiful than expected, though I must say I didn’t expect much. The rest of the flavor resembles a sweet Blue Moon. Palate is lively, but abrupt. Mundane.

12oz bottle. Filtered amber-orange color. Overly sweet one dimensional aroma, not pleasant. Medium bodied with a decidely sweet yeasty fruitiness. A Belgian Pale Ale? No way, lacks any crispness. More like a Singel if anything. Shows some spice as it warms. Surprisingly not bad for a Blue Moon product, but embarrassingly bad for something claiming to be Belgian.
