2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This beer is a dark amber color with a medium bone white head that dissipates pretty quickly. Thin, spotty lacing. Lots of vanilla aroma, along with a touch of malt and spice. Light-bodied and alternatingly spicy and vanilla-sweet. Aside from that there is a light malt flavor. The segmentation of the flavors is a little jarring but overall the flavors are okay. The finish is mildly spiced and the vanilla gives it an aftertaste like a cream soda. So-so all around.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
amber hue into my chalice. Minimal head, little retention. Scent is clean up front if not outright dull. Taste is a blast of sweetness with dark fruit on the edges. A bit watery but sits heavy in my stomach. Alchohol is rough around the edges. Even with the lower ABV, this is by no means a more seesion able "belgian" style. Blah.

Comes out of the tap an opaque chocolaty brown with a nice light tan head. Aroma is weak but appealing, with malty, chocolaty and subtle spicy tones. Rich flavor has fruity and malty tones with just a hint of caramel. Average body has some decent fizz that doesn’t stick around too long. Overall, not great, but worth a try.

Nose is mildy spicy, hints of candy syrup, taste is cloying and grainy. Pretty bad.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is flat malty and mild hops fruity. Dry malty, caramelish and lack hops alternative to none. Sweet and malty finish.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
330 mL. Pours a clear, dark brown with a decent off-white head that settles down. Aromas of copper, roasted malt, fresh grass, and some soy sauce. Not a good combo. Taste is metallic and watery with an astringent/acidic finish. Very poor.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A good full bodied beer. Not a ton of flavor but certainly pleases the palate! Not bitter, not malty, just somewhere in between.

UPDATED: MAY 27, 2008 Very disappointed in this beer, not special about this beer, the only lasting impression here was that it had a metallic taste from pour bottling
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Poured a small fizzy ivory head that mostly diminished, fair amount of lacing, transparent, fizzy, fast rising carbonation observed, and an orange hue. Nose was roasty malts, sweet, and lightly hoppy. Flavor was sweet, malty, sticky, gummy, and dry. Mouthfeel, was smooth, gummy, sticky, thin, and dry. Light in body. Nah, nothing special going on with this beer for sure. Not as tasty as their regular Blue Moon.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a medium brown, with a slight head. Not a very special winter beer. I wouldn’t buy this one again.
