This is simply the best beer in the category of "most available." It is almost anywhere. It is absolutely delicious. Goes well alone, or with foods, best with fish and pasta. Great orange peel bite. Great wheaty flavor. Perfect smoothness / carbonation. It’s just damn good. Also very sexy appearance, with banners and clouds of milky unfiltered goodness in a smooth yellow / white haze. White head that lasts. Drink this beer. EDIT*****Also, unfortunately, sometimes from a bottle this is not so great. Metallic, musty, sour. Sometimes it’s a winner, but best bet is on draught.

Better break out your chemistry books,you have to add an orange to break down the sour acids,after adding the orange the beer is great.Cloudy in appearance,pours with a nice thick head and the smell of fruit to the nose.I highly recommend this great beer.

One of my favorites. It’s been my "everyday" beer lately. Very tasty on tap, I’m seeing it more and more. Love the color, and of course I love that little bit of yeast at the bottom. I like almost chewing that last sip!!!

Of the beers that are "widely available" (both in bottles and on tap) this would have to be my favourite. A "heavier" beer in comparison to many beers of the same cloudy orange colour. Citrus taste within the bev but the brew is often served with an orange slice as well. Very refreshing on a hot day. Note: huge difference between bottle and draught taste. MUCH more citrus-y from the bottle!

Tasted damn good but after about the 5th one it gets old. Excellent citrus aroma and poured a nice golden color. The beer was pretty sweet but not overpowering and the texture was slick and went down easy. Overall one of my favorite beers!!

Very smooth, I love its appearance, but don’t fall for putting an orange slice in the beer, it really adds nothing to the experience.

Ah, my gateway beer. This was the one that made me realize beer could taste and taste GOOD. Pale cloudy orange with a nice 2" head. Sweet citrus smell and taste. I love this on a hot, humid day (and there’s no other kind here in the 5-6 month summer). Easy to find, easier to drink, this is my constant fallback drink, my tasty walk down memory lane each time I pop one open.

Blue moon is the best cheap beer out there. It is an amazing wheat beer and tastes quite good. It doesn’t have nasty after taste and is very available.
