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.

Very light spice aroma. Wheat taste and a dry finish. This is very similar in taste to the Wit. A lightest flavor of pumpkin in the finish.

Tastes better on tap then in the bottle. Very unique cloudy look. A sweet flavor that for the most part people drinking it have to be in the proper mood.

Draft. Served with an orange slice for variety. Guess this is kind of the "Shoebox Greetings" of the megabeers. Surprisingly cloudy… does that mean it’s unpasteurized? Fine white head and a soft wheat taste that’s actually a bit chewy. A touch of coriander without the yeasty esters of other wits. Finishes light, but then I get some hint of adjunct corns. Nice lacing.

Bottle. Clove, coriander, wheat and banana aromas. Light golden yellow color - cloudy with little head. Sweet clove and orange flavor. Really a pretty decent Witbier given that it’s a Coors product.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head. Color is a yellow-gold cloudy. Taste is middle of the road. Nice carbonation. Finish has a little bite.

Cloudy tan colour. Might be the ugliest wit I’ve ever seen, at least amongst unfiltered ones. Filtered ones are so much more heinous. Aroma shows a little curacao and some sweaty yeast notes that remind of suntan lotion. In short, it smells like a pleasant afternoon in Aruba. The tastes is remarkably similar with phenolic curacao and yeast sweat intermingling under a blanket of dull, plodding malts. Because this beer is every bit as uncool as mixing metaphors, it is like a bad karaoke version of a really good song.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) rangey golden, hazy with a bubbly head - actually quite a noisy head... Giant yeast sediment. Loads of fruit in the aroma, and loads of coriander. Classic Belgian White. Owned by Coors?? Do they understand the term Belgian White? Nice effort though.

Amber/copper body, medium light tan head. Sweet malt aroma with pumpkin spice. Flavor is quite light with biscuit and sweet malt accentuated by nutmeg and a touch of pumpkin. Reminds me of Cave Creek Chili Beer- "look, pa, this beer tastes like pumpkin!" Light, tame, and gimmicky.

Orange amber with a nice orangish-white head, and a sign that says "drink me," on the glass. Smells nothing like pumpkin- just has an "ordianry" beer smell. Taste is sweet and malty, but very little pumpkin. Decent spicing, but finishes more peppery, rather than with sweet spices. Unimpressed.

Amber coloured beer with a thick rsilient white head. Cardboard aroma (oxidation) with pumpkin spice coming nicely aftrwards, a bit cloying. Spices come out clearly in the attack in mouth with lingering, with a lot of sweetness and little bitterness. A bit too sweet for my taste but not bad. Medium bodied with a nicer balnce of spices and sweet.
