3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Walt (2448) - Austin, USA - APR 18, 2010
Pour is hazed orange golden with a big fluffy and tight bubbled off white head...so far, I am very impressed as this is a really beautiful beer...lots of big sediment popped up too...smell is sweet and very mild, even as it warmed...some orange and coriander, maybe some curacao...some estery and herbal stuff going on too...pleasant enough, but again...too subdued...very big and full mouthfeel, which is good...the bad thing is that there isn’t a whole lot to taste as you chew on this beer...definitely some sweetness with vanilla and lavender...orange and orange peel too...a bit of herbal-ness in the finish too...no real hint of the 8%+ content...there are so many things about this beer that are great, just some that are so decidedly lacking...

Good to start but the finish is like vinegar. Overall just a slightly more potent version of the original.

Pours a hazy gold with thin white head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, flavor is too but with a surprising lack of complexity. Like a cheap champagne.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 tone77 (158) - Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 1, 2012
Has a cloudy golden color. Smell is alive with citrus and spice. Taste is a bit boozy, citrus, a touch of spice and a tad tart. Overall a good quality beer.

Big fan of this. Would go well with some seafood. Or any new beer drinkers. Lots of sediment forms at bottom of bottle.

2010 bottle pours hazy yellow with tall white head. Smell is musty wheat and rotten orange rind. Taste is decent, a solid Belgian wit but not too impressive. Similar to hoegaarden or other cheap Belgian wit beers.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 vikingguy (474) - Chaska, Minnesota, USA - JAN 6, 2012
Pours a honey-gold color with whit head; lots of floating sediment. Yeasty-fruity aroma. Taste - Wheat malt, orange marmalade, yeast and some vanilla and clove. Has that belgian malt flavor. Has quite an alcohol kick to it. Tastes a lot like regular Blue Moon on steroids. This is good.

Not much of a difference from a normal blue moon other than the alcohol content. I didnt have high expectations but this was pretty disappointing.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 jackl (727) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 18, 2011
Pours a hazy orange with a pillowy white head. The nose is slightly acidic, orange peel, some clove. The taste is moderately sweet, a bit yeasty. Unstructured finish. The body’s medium, somewhat acidic. Overall, nothing particularly special, not bad either.
