A decent beer. There are definitely some things in this I wouldn’t have expected being the whole Marco thing. Citrus is evident, but very light. Some nice spicyness. It’s just not my style.

A truely outstanding beer. Often bashed because it is owned by a national brewery. Hey what’s the problem...Good beer for less money!

Even this elusive Coors brew deserves atleast one sampling

Decent. I didn’t realize this is also a wheat beer until my buddy pointed it out. So I ran to the cupboard and got some tortilla chips. Not the best wheat beer I’ve had, but it was an alright beer.

This beer has a strong citrus taste and the carbonation is a bit overpowering. Unique taste and smell, weak head. It seems like a quality beer, but I could not drink even a glass of it.

Yummy. If this were brewed by a Belgian brewery, it’s average rating would be half a point higher. It tastes very much like Hoegaarden and possesses just the right amount of spice kick.

Inveigler (371) - Ferndale, Michigan, USA - JUL 24, 2002
I think that this is underrated due to the fact that it is created by one of the macros. Blue Moon on tap is truly a fantastic and complex beer. Nice wheat-y mouthfeel. Noticable citrus flavor. The coriander is perhaps a little overdone, but overall this a great American stab at the Belgian Wit beer. Nice beer to serve at a porch party.

UPDATED: JUL 11, 2007 The perfect-looking wit, cloudy and straw-colored with a nice snowy head. Aroma would be perfect if stronger -- again, typical lemon/cardamom zestiness. Flavor a bit weak -- lacks something, I’m not sure what; finish a bit weak. A good try.

Good beer to cook mussels with, spicy orange, pale grain finish
