On tap at The Rake, Borough Market. Cloudy orange gold with thin white head. In a Belgian wit style. A little soapy, but good orange fruit flaours. Its pretty good. Fullish fruit flavour. OK carbonation decent beer to start the day with. Some crystallised tangerine fruit too.

not extremely bad, but by no means impressive. the aroma was the best part of the experience. it was very light, yet there was too much going on in the flavor. i dont even remember a finish. not a fan.

12oz bottle. Pours a nice inch head that quickly fades into a hazy orangeyellow color. Smells of sweet malts, coriander and spice. Taste is mostly of malt, citrus with a hint of spice. Very easy drink and easy to find.

Bottle at home ... a very odd find in sainsburys... and very welcome due to a thread on this and one of the buds as some peoples idea of good beer ... Nice hazy golden yellow ... spicy bubblegum... way tooo fizzy destroys any flavour in its fizz ... defizzing you get a slightly medicinal yeasty bubble gum ... drinkable even plesent but not really me.

Solid offering considering it is from Coors. Refreshing but not as smooth as something like Hoegaarden, which is somehow considered the same style. Wheaty with hints of orange, some spices.

Bottle that I found in Sainsburys, Kidlington, Oxon recently, consumed Dec 08. Pours hazy golden moving to light amber with a large white fluffy head. Nice wheaty nose with some spices and yeastiness in there. This is far better than expected and actually quite decent and refreshing. If I was being critical I suppose the spices and citrusiness which are very much in evidence are not quite subtle enough and its a little sweet but I really didnt mind it at all despite these faults.

Ok, I am finally getting around to rating Blue Moon. From the bottle it pours a hazy gold with smallish white head. The aroma is butterscotch, orange, coriander, maybe some honey. The flavor is unsurprising, given the aroma. Butterscotch sweetness dominates, with an ungraceful spiciness around it. Drinkable, but unimpressive.
