COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Pale Moon is a drinkable pale ale that has a distinctive hop aroma without the lingering aftertaste. This Belgian-Style Pale Ale is brewed with European malts, Cascade hops, and a touch of hibiscus and orange peel. These ingredients create a rich copper colored ale with a flavor complexity that one would expect from the Blue Moon Brewing Company.

Typical boring drivel from macro-brewery. It is not special, it should not bare the "Belgian" reference. Alcoholic water.

355ml. Pale yellow color with a soft white head. Light and easy to drink. This is a refreshing beer that you could easily drink a few of. There are aromas of malt mixed in with citrus.

drostj (32) - Huntsville, Alabama, USA - FEB 26, 2012
Bottle. Clear copper with little head. Faint aroma and a very mild taste. I expected more from the orange peel and hibiscus. Crisp and light on the palate, nice effervescence with a very smooth finish. Nice, but a bit disappointing.

Wittales (160) - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA - FEB 25, 2012
Appearance was clear honey amber diminishing 3 finger whitish head,little lacing. Aromas where of piney citrusy hops with sweet caramel malts upfront. Taste was sweet biscuitly light malts with a herbal bitter hops in the back.Mouthfeel was flat carbonation with light body, the finish is short and strange. After it warms up its sweeter yet still flat. Weak beer...

DTM (608) - Winters, California, USA - FEB 18, 2012
Bottle from the 76 station in Davis, CA. Poured a copper color. Sweet malty beer, but it was all over the palate. Not one of the better of the Blue Moon beers.

Not good at alll. Watered down malt with a bit of odd spice and a hint of bad yeast. All interesting flavors killed off, a very steril ale. Belgium called and said you can’t call it a Belgium Ale.

TheBeerCollector (601) - Woodstock, Georgia, USA - FEB 13, 2012
Bottle. Pours a clear bright to medium copper with a nice lasting head. Aroma is grassy hops. Flavor is quite malty with hints of chocolate. Not what I was expecting from a pale ale. Drinkable but not really enjoyable.

Pale amber colour, with a thin head. Taste isn’t up to the normal Blue Moon though.

wmubronco1992 (412) - Coldwater, Michigan, USA - FEB 11, 2012
Bottle from mixed 12 pack. Pours amber. Small white head that quickly dissipates. Mild spice aroma. Flavor of malt + bitter. That combo doesn’t work well in the mouthfeel. To me this is a weird combo and it just didn’t work. Least favorite of the Blue Moon series.
