Cloudy with small head. Good flavor, prefer on tap vs. bottled. One of the better Belgians I have had.

I love the drinkability of Blue Moon. This wheaty wits are fantastic on a hot day, and Blue Moon tops my list of them. Hell, it’s inspired me to brew my own! Pours a cloudy golden with slight orange highlights. Aroma is definite coriander and orangey-citrus. Flavor is a smooth combo of bitter orange and crisp, refreshing wheat. The oat gives it a smooth, rounded body which I love. Awesome production beer!

Cloudy orange color, some citrus flavor and a little creamy and sweet. The kind of beer I would only drink when the other options are of the American macroo-brew variety.

Tap. Why the hell did the bartender put a piece of fruit in this? Maybe to add some flavor... Get that shit outta here. Poured hazy orange with a fluffy white head. Aroma of nothing. Some citrus flavor. Probably from the orange slice. Lots of tools drinking this nowadays.

Thick, completely opaque pour soupy with bits. Heavily perfumed coriander and lemon aroma with background wheat. Coriander, lemon meringue and lemon puff flavour with a sweetener-like bitterness and n/a toasted cereal notes. No edge or sparkle but plenty of cardboard. Fake and forced like a French supermarket effort. Clumsy oat and coriander soup. Not at all surprised that Coors are behind it. Overpriced curiosity courtesy of Warwick Sainsbury’s.

Had this one on draft at a restaurant with limited selection. Smooth and drinkable. A little citrus there, color a cloudy orangish with white head. Not my favorite style but I’d have another.

355ml unfiltered bottle. Mild and attractive. This is a pleasantly drinkable confection. It lacks aggression and impact and perhaps a bit of character, and there is a tendency for the experience to be rather laid back - but this is a pleasant enough beer with gentle hints of orange and the modest warmth of a restrained pinch of spice. I wouldn’t rave about it, but I wouldn’t object to another one either.
