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.

Twist off bottle. Cant really smell the coffee. Taste is coffee, no mistake. Yes coffee coffee coffee. Good to have in the middle of the day, some coffee. I'm not sure, except for the fizz, if this even taste like beer. Has a beer palate, its that somewhat peppery coffee. Typical pale coffee ale, or beer, or lager, what ever.

From this thin can I was expecting a smoother blue moon experience. However, from the initial taste, its more of a grapefruit thing that comes across a little bitter, not like tangerine at all. Smell is citrus peel of course. A little disappointed in this taste. Yes, the peel thing is quite annoying. It overrides the taste of the smooth wheat beer underneath. Thanks you blue moon, but I think you should stick to civilized easy going beers. Isn't that what you built your reputation on? Just asking. BTW, the look of this is slightly hazy pale with a thicker white head. Disappointing, a little less than expected.

Ok in mouth. lots of mango. little wheat beer character. some bitterness on the finish. mango continues. I am guessing some kind of flavouring. goes on and on. ok if simple.

This wheat poured a cloudy, medium orange colour with a creamy, bright white head. Nice lacing. Scents include mango by the truckload. Other scents include apricot, orange citrus and dried fruit. First swig was a little thin in the mouthfeel dept, but not too bad. Flavours include mango and tropical fruit in the majority. Sweet palate with a jam like flavour lingering.

Can, Kroger @ Rio Hill. Pours nice, actually: hazy gold with some floaties and a soft white head. Nose is wheat, tangerine peel, orange. Flavor is orange and tangerine peel, wheat... little else. Is a bit thin, but damn, I'm shocked how not bad this is. And at 95 calories, this has flavor. Surprising.

Refrigerated slim line can, best before November 23, 2020 poured into a weizen glass. Hazy golden with medium/large white head. Aroma is orange, medium body, well carbonated, and pretty good lacing. Taste is wheat esters and orange. Pretty nice for a macro.
