Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale

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

Bottle. Pours hazy gold orange, off white head. Aroma is spices, malt, caramel, toffee. Flavor is the same with a bit of tomato and kind of on the plastic-y chemical side.

Pours a light golden amber with a thick, foamy white head. Nice aroma of citrus. Lots of carbonation in the mouthfeel. Taste hints of lime, but expected more lime flavor after reading the description on the bottle.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear topped with an inch of fizzy white head. Smell: Very mild aroma of lime soda, spice, and handful of flowers. Taste: Wheat and touch of honey sweetness. The lime flavor begins to grow with every sip as it begins to warm. Flowery finish. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Lightly spritzy carbonation. Watery. Drinkability: Boy, all the macros are going wild for lime. I, however, am not. Didn’t sit too well with me.

Poured a dark orange color in the glass with a medium tan head. Smelled of malt, lightly of yeast and corn. Taste was watery, slightly malty with a touch of lime. Acidic on the tongue and finished dry. Interesting but not my favorite.

Color is decent, dark yellow orange, with a thick fluffy head. Aroma is of corn and citrus. Mouthfeel is carbonated and light. Taste is minimal, corn and citrus again. Not great would be okay in the summer.

Found this one bottled at Butera Market in St. Charles, Illinois. Admittedly, I poured this at higher than its optimum temperature. Clear, bubbly dark orange pour with a very thick, foamy tan head, light nose of malts and orange peel. Nuanced, with a subtle dryness ofset by orange and key lime, malty, and a creamy mouthfeel. Finishes just a tad spicy, soft and balanced. Not one flavor overpowers, this one is highly quaffable. Another good seasonable from the Blue Moon people.

Bottle. Pretty decent brew from bluemoon. Palate was a bit thin tho. Decent unique citrus notes. Id drink more of it.

On draft at Taco Mac. Pours a deep gold, almost orange, with virtually no head (that’s how they pour them there...). The aroma is soft and bready with some nice crystal malt and wheat character. The flavor is malty - lots of toasty and wheaty notes. The tip of the tongue did detect a slight acid - must have been from the lime leaves - but, admittedly, the beer was served too cold to really be able to taste and identify it. By mid-palate, a subtle, balancing level of bitterness emerges. The beer finishes moderately - right between dry and full - with a good level of balance. The mouthfeel was medium to full in body with a nice level of lightening carbonation - creamy. Overall, this was a very balanced and drinkable beer. It wasn’t strong flavored or particularly great, but a very decent effort. I think I would have enjoyed a touch more lime leaf as a touch of citrus could have brought out more of the wheat flavor, too.
