Overripe orange, grass nose. Clear amber, medium head. Soft carbonation, medium body. Malty with an orange accent.. Very light fusel alcohol detected, almost unnoticeable as it hides behind the orange peel quite well. Respectable.

Bottle. Pours crystal clear orange with a medium orange white head, creamy, nice lacing. Aroma is grain, caramel, corn. Flavor about the same, medium sweet, just a touch of bitterness. no real orange presence. Medium body.

So blue moon has now ventured into every major style. Yesterday’s beatle rating. In my steeler glass. Slightly darker lager but not dark by a long shot. Smooth co2. Medium dull taste. Has a slight BMC rocessed feel to it. Not bad overall, thanks BM!. Perhaps some whiskey laced effect comes thru near the finish. Not impressed, thought this would be a little more mannered.

Pours clear gold into a Sam glass. Bright white head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing to skim surface. Caramel and citrus aromas. Soft hay and bready caramel upfront turning to mild sweet citrus in the medium length finish.
