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.

Pours copper brown very little head dissipates right away Smells overly malty no real hop aroma Taste is overly carbonated lots of malt some grain Not very yeasty Drinkable yet too carbonated Fair effort but Id rather have a different brand Belgian if I had the choice I apologize for the lack of punctuation but rate beer is being a pain in the ass lately so I really have no choice Apparently commas and periods are too much for the website to process at this point

Bottle - Pours amber with a cream-colored head. Smells sour and metallic, with some sugary notes and a whiff of orange and honey. Not picking up any hops though, which is weird for a pale. Taste is sour and syrupy with some off-barley and wheat flavors. There’s the slightest grassy hops taste on the finish, but it’s barely there. Sharp, biting, and a bit syrupy, this is a mess and nothing like I expected. Pass.

Muddled mess of a beer. Belgian pales do tend to be less hoppy and more tame than American brews, but this is terrible. The spices and fruit flavors were poorly intergrated and tasted flat out bad. The hop presence was almost non existent. Terrible beer!

Bottle. Pours an amber, clear color with a minimal, frothy and loose white head. Aromas of bananas, raisin, candy, and malts. Palate is crisp with a somewhat long aftertaste. Tastes of raisin and port, with malts and roasted malts. Actually a good beer for something that is so mass-produced.

Pour is a tan with a large white head. Aroma is some slight hops and some caramel. Flavor is a little fruit, spice and again a slight hop comes out. Light but flavorful

12oz bottle. A clear dark amber color with a decent head. Aroma is spices, caramel and light hops. Flavor is mostly sweet malt with light spiciness and mild hops. Easy drinking and one of the better Blue Moons.

12 oz bottle into a pint glass Smells like homebrew - hops and a metal tang. Flavor is malt, dusty bitterness and light hop flavor.
