Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Golden, Colorado USA

It’s not bad. The lime is interersting the malt flavor is a little heavy to mix with the lightnesss of the lime not a whole lot of hop character. I would drink it again but it is sort of a strange mix between styles that leaves something to be desired.

Bottle. This is by far the worst Blue Moon offering. The hint of lime is gross. Would rather drink Coors Light.

Because I cannot bash on this line enough. Interesting addition of Kieffer lime. No one likes Coors.

30-Jun-08 (12-oz bottle, Best by 08-Jun-08: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) At its core, this is just another generic wheat beer with a heavy, very bready flavor. However, with each sip, the lime has enough presence to balance the wheat base in the entry. Unfortunately, within a few seconds, the lime fades off the palate, leaving the unpleasant, wheaty aftertaste of stale bread and heavy yeast. It’s medium in body and carbonation, but without a balanced and cleansing finish, the palate is left feeling unrefreshed. Lime is fairly prominent in the nose, but when swirled, the beer projects cardboard and bready wheat. Hazy golden in color and capped by a large, bubbly, off-white head that eventually settles to a thin ring. As it is, this isn’t a very enjoyable beer, but imagine where it would be without the lime! With poor drinkability being the main issue here, drink this beer cold and have food handy to quickly pick up where the lime leaves off.

Wheat beer smell with a hint of lime. A pretty clean secent. Nice golden color with a light fizz. Taste a a little lacking, plus it had a weird aftertaste. Not something I would proably buy again

This was another pretty good spring beer. The lime leaves did add a nice citrus flavor to it but didn’t take away from the beer taste.

Bottle. Weak nose and appearance. I was really disappointed with this beer because I love Blue Moon. The addition of lime leaves was a mistake, in my opinion. Lime peel probably would have been a much better choice.

12 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with foamy, off-white head. Looks enticing. Not much nose, smells of wheat and slight banana, maybe some slight citric notes. Taste is an unfortunate amount of lime-esque notes accenting a wheat malt body with a slightly crisp ending. No hops, no real taste other than the lime. Odd metallic aftertaste. Could be the age. A big "eh" from me.
