Best drink available at the Olive Garden last night - ugh. Decent looking but a little too watery and thin. Nice wheat malt backbone that is very smooth and dominates the finish but is spoiled by a funky orange citrus presence that most likely came along with the 1/4 Sunkist Orange that came floating in the glass.

a very tasteful wheat beer with just the right amount of citrus taste. A great summer beer, but good anytime. I feel the tap beer is much better then the bottle.

This beer is made for ladies due to the fact, if you have to add fruit to beer then you should drink a wine cooler. Overall a fairly decent beer but would not go out of way to have another. Tastes like Leines sunset wheat but slightly better.

Nice citrus aroma, but flavor is very muted. Nice white head when poured. Adding an orange really improves this beer.

aroma of wheat and citrus. small white head and a little carbonation. flavor is a bit weak for me and a little bitter. had this on tap and I thought maybe the tap was flat. It does have an easy palate and that’s always a good thing. Not my favorite wheat but it’s not shite either.

~Pours a cloudy light orange colour with a thick creamy head. ~ Fruity, spicy scent. Coriander perhaps? Smells like Honey Nut Cherrios ~ Orange, sugary taste almost like an orange cream pop. Nice Wheat flavor. Like Honey Nut Cherrios :) ~Smooth and creamy palate that almost sticks inside your mouth. No afterbite from hops. ~I like this beer. Much better than Hoegaarden. It’s not my favorite style to drink, but I will probably end up purchasing this again. Good dessert beer.

Blue Moon Belgian White Ale very nice for a big beer company. Aroma is present. Appearance is that hazy expected hay color. Flavor is supra smooth. Palate is super mild. Beautiful, but not Hoegaarden.
