Can, pours a cloudy white yellow with a white head that dissipated quickly, left a little lacing on the glass, looked inviting while sitting in the glass, got some sediment in the glass, aroma of orange skin, hints of lemon citrus and lemon sweetness on the nose, I got some whiffs of lemonade, lemon citrus taste with little sweetness, some wheat flavor, some tart and dryness at the finish, flavor was so-so and fell a little short of what I was expecting, mouth feel was medium or a bit lighter but appeared to be off, maybe I got some low carbonated ale? Can was not past its BBD, this was an ok Wit.

12oz can poured into a Wittekerke glass. Pours a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL hazy yellow with a perfect, fluffy white head. Nose is soap, soap, and more lemon soap degreaser. Body follows suit, lemon soap. Palate is very refreshing and overall very tasty. I am very conflicted about this beer, it is not complex in any shape way or form but what it does have is VERY tasty. No funky aftertaste or weird yeasty flavors to speak of. Very, very drinkable.

12oz can poured to hoegaarten tumbler. garage sale yeast. smells like it too. WAY too cloudy. makes me wonder if a big corporate entity wanted to make a beer that was naturally cloudy, how many cheap options they would have to make a beer artificially cloudy. nose is weak, next to zero yeast and just a bit of lemon. a taste is of strong lemon and little else.body is ultra thin and very lightly carbonated. i can deal with carbonation level but a wit should be slightly substantial due to the solids floating around in here. maybe the monosodium gluteamate they used instead of yeast to make it cloudy doesnt provide a real body. hoegaarten is better then this, and more available and about the same price. havent had many bluemoods but i dare say that might be even better, or at least similar.

Date: 08/30/08, 12 oz. can provided by and shared with DoBoy.

Aroma - Lemon and honey notes with hints of spice

Appearance - Slightly hazy yellow pour, medium white head

Flavor - Starts off lightly sweet, a crisp tartness follows

Palate - Light, effervescent, dry finish and a clean palate

Overall - Not bad for a summer refresher. Flavors are subdued.

11.2 oz can shared by doboy, along with DrBayern and Steve. Pours a hazy, straw color. Aroma of yeasty lemons and cloves. Light flavour of the same, clean and refreshing beer! Not very complex, however extremely tastey!
