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.

Draught pint at Joshua Tree (bar near me) on 4/14/07
So my friend and I are at this bar towards the end of the night and this wicked hot chick is sitting at a table right near where we were standing. We were fairly bored and it’s always fun to talk to hot girls, so I’m like, "Marco (my friend), what should I say to this girl?" He comes up with a pretty sweet pick-up line that goes a little like this. I walk up to the girl and say, "Hey, do you know what time the bars around here close, we’re not from around here." And then she tells me the time and asks, "So where are you from?" and I respond "Cambridge". Cambridge is literally the next town over and about a 10 minute walk, so it’s a pretty funny line, in which you just insert a town right next to where you are. Anyways, it had the girl laughing for about a minute straight and we all hung out the rest of the night at the bar and had a good time.
The beer is not so good. Copper-colored with strong, strong coriander and cheap sugars in the nose. The flavor isn’t much different, with sort of a thick, spongey texture that grows sweeter and almost chewier on the finish. Tons of coriander, with astringency and lime acidity. Not crisp in any way, not refreshing due to the sweetness.

Had this again yesterday, for the purposes of rating it. It is a standard white ale. Like the other beers it has that cloudy look to it. The flavour is citrusy of course, with little hops. I mean, it is surprising to see that Coors makes this and actually sells it, but I guess every brewery (except for Miller probably) has to make a beer that doesn’t totally suck.

Bottle: Pours a clear golden color with a large, creamy white head. Nose of yeast, wheat, and some spiciness. A bit earthy. Taste is dry, bisquit malt with some hints of spice, yeast, and lime. Very crisp and carbonated.

This brew is a clear orange/amber color with a medium done white head that dissipates slowly. Spotty rings of lacing on the glass. Bready malt aroma with a touch of lime. Light-bodied with a mildly spicy character and flavors of yeast and lime. The finish is lightly herbal with a sweet malt aftertaste. Pretty average all around.

Draft. Nothing distiguishable at all.here. Does look nice, though. Almost amber color. Decent foamy head. But not much to smell of taste. maybe a mere touch of spice here. A typical Coors in its total lack of hops. Many weak parts, but it seems to come together a little better in the whole.

Not a lot here, and nowhere near as good as the wit. This is an American wheat with light citrus and key limes. There is no sediment. It is light red and there is a thin layer of foam. Herbal finish.

Beautiful amber color. Very light aroma. Medium body, with light malt, light vegetables taste and correct bitterness. Drinkable.

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.

This isn’t terrible but not nearly as tasty as the wit. Lots of nutmeg; more than I have ever tasted in a beer. Sweet, kind of sugary flavor with a very dry aftertaste. It is worth trying.

bottle - Pours amber with a medium sized head. The aroma is malty with a little vanilla. The flavor is very sweet with caramel malts, vanilla, and some spice. It’s too sweet, but really not bad.
