Commercial Description:

Bottle - Hazy gold in colour. Slightly fruity and spicy aroma. Slightly tangy and fruity taste with some spicy hints. Slightly thin and disappointing.

It smells a bit like oranges and a bit like caramel and a lot like vomit. It is cloudy orange. Some mild bitterness, orange, bread and gastric acid forms the flavour of this questionable brew. This is... not good. Blech. Oh, and the finish is dry.

Note to self: Never go from Pliny the Elder to Blue Moon.

I have had this many times from the bottle and on tap. For what it is, this is a pretty decent American version of a wit.

Very murky appearance with tons of yeast floating about. Real nice bronze/honey color. Very little head. Smells of citrus and lightly of the yeast. Really light flavor with hints of citrus. Tons of carbonation, good thirst quencher, though it still goes down pretty smooth.

I warn: I am not writing this review while sipping on Blue Moon; it is from memory from many times past. Blue Moon is, in some ways, the perfect entry into "craft beer." It is easy to drink, well-suited for a slice of orange, and goes down with little bitterness. Problem is, as a "Belgian White" style beer, it is relatively bland and uninteresting. No discernible spice to it, little complexity. Just a hot-day sipper. Which is not entirely bad.

I enjoyed it. I thought the beer poured well into the glass. It took a couple to convince me that I liked the tase. I hated the lable.

I really think this tastes worse than budweiser. Even with the orange slice, it comes off as watered-down, an d is not at all refreshing. I shall not be wasting money on this again.
