I enjoyed this beer. I had it on tap with an orange. I really enjoy wheat beers and this was flavorful and refreshing

Saborosa e leve, fácil de tomar. Mas falta aroma na cerveja pra combinar com sua coloração.

This unfiltered wheat ale has an apricot hue when viewed through a glass. There’s a prominent citrus flavor present here - oranges come to mind. The consistency is a somewhat thin - perhaps a bit too watery. The brew is certainly easy to drink and tastes good - an above average beer that most people can agree on. As far as Hefeweizens go Blue Moon isn’t mind blowing, but I have yet to find a cheaper wheat ale of comparable quality.

Tap the first time. Yellow with a thick white head. Nice taste of wheat and orange. smooth on the palate. Nice finish.

[355ml bottle from Sainsbury’s - labelled as "North American Craft Beer" rather than "Belgian White Ale" and brewed by BMBC in Toronto.] Cloudy orange with thin white head; aroma has some citrus and some grain; flavour the same, rather soapy and floury mouthfeel. Refreshing, but nothing more.

Cloudy orange gold pour with a very lacey head. Scent of citrus and taste of correander and orange as expected. Definately a Wit Beer. Not a bad one at that. Very drinkable. Between a Mill Street Wit and a Hoegaarden to me.

Murky orange with a white head. Sweet slightly gluey taste with some grainy background. Taste has a little citrus at the beginning and some soapy dryness at the end. The rest is sweety oaty biscuit. It has some redeeming features. For instance, it quenches your thirst if you drink it cold and very fast.

Lightly peppery, gentle citrus nose. Pours orange and cloudy. Flavour is not great - a bit cloying and a bit too soft drinky. Finish spreads out into dirty socks and dishwater that used orange scented washing up liquid. Disappointing.
