[bottle] Poured a hazy gold with moderate white head. Aroma is orange peel, a hint of cloves, and a little breadiness. Mouthfeel is medium/light. Flavor is pretty sweet and wheaty, orange peel is the dominant feature I thought, and kind of took over the beer in general. Decent but not great.

this has long been my favorite beer to drink. I enjoy it both with an orange and without. it looks golden orange and its great to drink. i buy it in bottles but prefer to drink it from a tall draft glass.

Bottle six pack. Comparable to Leinenkugels Sunset wheat. Not a huge fan, but its good to drink.... add a slice of orange

With a lemon this is good for a warm summer’s day, and girls go nuts for it. All-told, not bad, but there are many many better examples out there of the Belgian Wit style.

On tap. Some interesting qualities about this one. Refreshing and drinkable. I like that this one is available when there is nothing else good on tap.

Tap, bottle, whatever. Watery, bland, lightly corny. Hints of what makes a wit good but not nearly enough of it. Could do with more spice, wheatiness, and more importantly more body.

(Bottle) To be honest I dont feel like writing about a beer that has been written about 1500 other times. To sum it up it is not a bad beer. Better in the summer time. Good macro.

Blue Moon pours yellow orange and hazy. A thick and creamy smooth head forms which leaves behind some lacing that slowly slides down the sides of the glass. The texture is smooth and a little oily. Its aroma is light with orange and wheat notes. The favor is a nice mix of sweet orange peel, coriander and wheat malts. The finish is wheaty and a little dry. Blue Moon is very refreshing and drinkable. I like to enjoy it with a slice of orange. [orange slice was not used for review]
