Description
Blue Moon is known for its Belgian-Style Wheat Ale which was created in 1995 by Keith Villa, a brewer at the Sandlot Brewery at Coors Field, Denver. It was originally brewed in the Coors brewery in Golden, Colorado. In the summer of 2016 a new state-of-the-art brewery was opened in Denver’s RiNo District. Since then we have been brewing fan favorites (old and new), and experimenting with new and unique ingredients on our pilot brewing system.

Clear golden coloured body with a slight orange hue. Aroma of fake sugars, citrus and very little else. Light-bodied; Gross funky fake sugar flavours that overpower anything else. Aftertaste is simply disgusting - the sugar from this is offputting and overpowering, not a good finish or taste to have in the mouth. Overall, this beer is EASILY worth passing up - the normal blue moon is much better and drinkable - this is a poor attempt at a beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle on 28-March-2010.

12 oz bottle into shaker. Aroma of Sweet-Tarts, cheap grain. Pours amber gold with a medium dissipating head and decent lacework which vanishes three quarters of the way down the glass. Taste is caramel malty with just a hint of lime. Highly carbonated; a bit oily. This beer used to be so much better a few years ago. All of Blue Moon’s seasonals have gone down the toilet as original Blue Moon gains in popularity. It’s like Coors is trying to cater to the masses by making their Blue Moon beers increasingly boring. Their Honey Moon and Harvest Moon (formerly known as just their Pumpkin Ale) used to be excellent as well (the winter one has always sucked as far as I know). All are dull as shit now. What’s up with that, Coors? Wankers...

A golden wheat ale with a thin white head. In aroma, a lightly fruity and esters aroma, solventy. In mouth, a chalky boring wheat...really boring. Tasted at CNY brewfest, Feb. 6 2010.

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.

Pours amber, off-white head. Aroma, floral sent, light citrus hops and fresh lime nose and mild malt. Flavor, sweet and light malts with a tad of caramel. Hints of spiced hops with a cinnamon like impression. Some fresh lime in the finish as well as some malt sweetness with a mild herbal note. Better than expected.
