Blue Moon Belgian White Ale

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]

Blue Moon may go down as the beer that "started it all" for me. While it is in the "Belgian tradition," Blue Moon is made by Coors. And before I actually went to Belgium and knew what that tradition entailed, I thought Blue Moon was the best beer out there. I know better now. That being said, I think Blue Moon is one of the better beers widely available in the United States. A smooth beer that looks good and tastes great. Nice creamy head, orange tint, citrus flavor - an excellent way to start appreciating beers. But keep in mind: it’s only a start.

12 oz. bottle poured cloudy orange marmalade color with small white frothy head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Front palate of creamy orange with middle of corriander and cloves and a smooth, mildly earthy finish. Easy to drink, easy to pair with a variety of dishes, especially fish with a fruit salsa or hearty salad in the summer time.

A very nice white ale, with a creamy finish that would keep me coming back. I’ve re-sampled this brew several timnes, and each tasting brings increased respect and admiration. Maybe some are put off by its Coors heritage--I suggest just giving it fair hearing (tasting).

Poured a golden tan with a very foamy head. Smelled pretty pleasant being slightly fruity. It tasted like a wheaty/banana-ish hefeweizen and was pretty decent. It was my first experience with blue moon and although wheat beers aren’t usually my thing, this was pretty enjoyable and drinkable.

is this a Coors product or Molson - or are they now under the same banner? Either way, it is an attempt to bring Belgian ale into the North American mainstream. That is a worthwhile effort, and it is nice to even see a witbier when one goes into a 7-11. However, this is hardly the best. I agree with the raters who compared it to orangeade, or who said they would rather see Hoegarden on tap than this. Blue Moon tastes more like a Yankee hefe with spices than a Belgian. It looks nice, and there is some coriander and orange peel. It is not bad - perfectly drinkable stuff.
