webbcreative (111), , Oklahoma, USA Jan 9, 2009 Had on tap, poured yellowish orangy color. really smooth going down. tasted a little fruity, actually it tasted like fruity pebbles cereal to me. But still I thought this was a pretty decent brew anyway, especially for a coors product! I would definitley have this again......but honestly I would have to not have the best of selections like I did tonight. DerWeg (748), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jan 8, 2009 Bottle Shop in South Beach Miami. Fairly tired and dull sweet wheat malt profile, lack of spice or citrus character. Main weaknesses are the feel of the palate,the lack of varied aromas, and the marked superiority of easily found Belgian Wits like Brussels White , Blanche de Chambly or Hoegaarden. lancegill (6), , Texas, USA does not count Jan 6, 2009 Updated: Jan 9, 2009I first had on tap and loved it. Tried from bottle and it tasted different, darker and kind of stale. Still a good beer but doesn’t really taste like a true Belgian witbier. The label should say "Belgian Style" and not "Belgian Ale". Shock Top actually tastes closer to one to me than this. 502Flavors (617), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Jan 4, 2009 bottle into my mouth. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not a true belgian white!!! ChainGangGuy (2522), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Jan 4, 2009 Appearance: Cloudy, dull, golden-orange body with a small, fizzy, white head.
Smell: Notes of orangey citrus and perky spices infuse the wheaty nose of Blue Moon.
Taste: Tangy, lightly creamy malted wheat. A taste of citrus zest and a fair dose of spice interrupts the brief sweetness. Light, spicy hops and bitterness provides a bit of balance. Finishes tangy with a light, lingering hint of spice and orange.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium, fizzy carbonation.
Drinkability: It certainly has some stuff going for it. It’s very easily available, rather drinkable, relatively inexpensive, and isn’t altogether dreadful. breilly2 (4), , New Jersey, USA does not count Jan 3, 2009 good taste, great flavor. lots of carbonation. malty with a hint of orange. mpersinger (176), , California, USA Jan 3, 2009 Updated: Jan 17, 2009On draft, straw colored and hazy with lots of carbonation. Flavor is watery malt and vaguely orange with some mineral. No funk or nuance. kramer (2406), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy dark orange body with a one inch foamy white head that retained as a thin film. Lots of wheat and yeast in the nose with some fruity esters and the usual Wit spices of orange peel and coriander. A bit murky smelling though. The flavor has a good deal of yeastiness and prominent orange peel citrusy notes, lesser impact from the coriander. Still can’t help but think that it’s a little murky tasting as well though. Mouthfeel is pretty full and creamy with nice soft carbonation. Not the cleanest of Witbiers, but is is among the best from this brewery.
