Bottle - lol this was a dubbel? It was ok, but I thought it was just supposed to be some weird ale. Interesting to see what coors’ take was on it. The brown sugar was nice. I guess better than regular coors.

Bottle. Dark, brown sugar color. Malty, slightly hop flavor with very slight vanilla and molasses taste. Nice holiday beer for Coors.

Old sample bottle found at the warehouse. Expired January 2008. Caramel and toffee with baking spices and vinegar. This beer is obviously past its prime at almost 6 years old. I’m getting the feeling that it wasn’t much worse to start with though.

Tastes a whole hell of a lot more like bad cola than an Abbey Ale. Spoiled malt flavor, and that hint of sugar is more like a kick to the balls. Not that Blue Moon is a pantheon of quality beermaking, but this horrid mess should embarrass even them. (12/08)

pretty solid beer. Blue Moon makes a good beer - nothing special but it’s an easy to drink beer that has wide availablity.

Bottle. Poured amber with a minimal off white head. Light malt and yeast aroma, not very complex. Flavor was malty, but rather thin and watered down with a metallic aftertaste. All I got on the palate was some carbonation. Rather unremarkable, but to be expected from a mass marketed beer.

bottle, pours light amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is yeasty with fig and candy sugar. Flavor is actually not that bad, the base malt flavors are a tad watered down, but the spicing and dark candy sugar are nice.

Sweet tea aroma. Tea colored, thin white head. My God, I hope it doesn’t taste like tea. Thankfully, it doesn’t. The flavor is sweet hay, candy sugar and sweetgrass. Marshmallow and wheat finish. Thinnish mouthfeel. This is pretty nice.

12 oz bottle. Aromas of sugar, cheese, caramel malt. Pours amber with a thin head, average lacing. Taste is a little sweet, ends slightly bitter. Pretty gross, actually. Full-bodied, though. Probably the worst winter beer I’ve ranked so far. Abbey Dubbel, huh? What a joke.
