Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale

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

A crap beer but very drinkable. Aroma was nothing. Could pick up some lime and it reminded me of Corona with lime (blah)/ Pour was a decent light gold with a one finger white head with lots of bubbles. Taste was weak and bad. Tasted like seltzer water with a wedge of lime and not much else. Blue Moon is not bad (for macro swill) but every other "Moon" beer I’ve had has been ass.

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear amber color with a one and a half finger thick off white head. Decent spotty lacing. Has a perfume, ester, caramel malt aroma. Has a lightly sweetened caramel malt and herbal hop flavor. Has a very light citrus zing. Light to medium body. A decent beer.

Poured slightly darker than a pale lager. Head was off white. I rated the aroma right in the middle because I couldn’t really detect much of one (!) Mouthfeel a little on the fizzy side, but not too gassy. I think the lime infusion ruined the taste for me - not that it didn’t taste like lime, just not my cup of tea. The label indicated a mix of wheat, but I wasn’t able to discern any.

I was excited to see this in the store and thought it would be a Marzen, with its nice green and blue label. Insted i get some lime beer with a horrid aftertaste and foul smell. I then realized it was the work of Coors and it all makes sense. Well at least their marketing department figured out a way for dummies like me to actually buy the shit. Give this stuff to your blonde 18 year old girlfriend, she might enjoy it.

very small almost no head with mild hints of wheat and grassy aroma flavor is also slight vegetable taste with lime but not too bad and at the same time a slight similarity to miller chill but not that bitter

Bottle best before June 8, 2008. Pours clear copper with a tall white head. There’s a strange wet hay aroma with very little of anything else. What the hell is this? I don’t know what’s going on. Papery, husky hops are actually pretty apparent, but underneath is this odd candy flavor. I guess that’s the lime. I find the odd fruity/vegetal flavors more annoying. I think I’d rather drink a straightforward macro than this concoction. That being said, it isn’t horrific.

Bottle best before June 14, 2009. Spring time already, eh? This is a cloudy gold color with a small white head. The aroma is juicy with plenty of lime and hints of wheat and mild spices. The flavor is husky with noticeable citrus, namely lime. Cereal notes and gentle esters are apparent. The finish is reminiscent of soda. The lime is overstated, but not out of control.

Much better beer than the ratings suggest (do people have a prejudice against micros owned by macros?) This is a pretty solid and tasty wheat ale.

Aroma is almost non existent.... maybe some traces of feet. Yes, I said feet. Darker Amber in color, its flavor is less than great... traces of hops, wheat, and corn, but it has a crisp palate. Overall.... not a very impressive Wheat Ale.
