I must admit, I didn’t care for this beer the first time I had it. I sampled it again the other day and it didn’t taste anything like I remembered! I very cirtus and wheaty flavor is very easy to drink. Was garnished with an orange. This wouldn’t be a session beer for me, but I would have one again.

This was my "Green eggs and ham." I didn’t want to try it, didn’t want to try it, but then I did reluctantly did tryi t and guess what sam I am?..I do like it, I do like Blue moon belgian white. 12 ounce bottle from Glenville beverage. dirty yellow, nice head that sticks around for a little bit. Wheat, hops, and fruity. What’s not to like? It’s not my everyday beer, but if it’s offered, Ill take one gladly!

12oz bottle. Murky light amber/orange with a white head that leaves a layer of foam. Sweaty, yeasy aroma with a little orange. Spicey, tangy flavor. Not bitter, and not too sweet. Crisp I guess. Light, but the yeast adds some body; too much carbonation, but that would add to the refreshment. This seems like one of the most popular beers around, and I can see how the flavors appeal to a wide swath of less experienced drinkers, but the orange flavor gets a little much in the end, and the sweaty aroma could be toned down a bit.

Goes great with a variety of foods. After three beers, the orange taste is a little too much. The first beer is wonderful.

On tap at Old Chicago. Pours a very cloudy bright orange with a thin lasting white head, usually served too cold which hurts the head I think. Aroma is orangey, even if they dont throw the orange in there, with some light wheat malts, citrus, light lemon and some coriander. Flavor is aslo very citrusy with lots of orange zest, sweet, wheaty and has a slight herbal and hoppy bitterness in the end. Finishes with a wierd slick zestiness to it, but still easy to drink and sometimes can be refreshing. Probably not the most authentic in its style, but a great beer to turn people on to craft beer. It actually has a good amount of flavor to it, so its way better than any other BMC product.

For a less expensive, readily available brew, it’ll do just fine. Enjoyed this brew with steamed clams with garlic and butter, a match very close to perfection.

Creamy white Ale. Pretty much what I expected. Well balanced, but nothing really that interesting about it. Enjoyable overall.
