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.

Schooner on tap at Doughbox, Brighton-Le-Sands. Sweet malt and cloves on the nose. Hazy amber beer with thin white head and light carbonation. Effervescent with good body. Finish is slightly bitter fruit with late sourness and spice. Perfectly acceptable Belgian clone.

Reddish amber beer with a thick white head. Smells lightly malt and a dash of apple but not much else. Flavour has fruit, some caramel, a hint of dry hop and the finish is somewhat watery. For a 6.1% there's really not much happening in this.

12 oz bottle. Smells like puke, mango, pepper. Ugh. Pours hazy golden with a finger of off-white head. Taste is lightly sweet, hint of tartness, with flavors of wheat, coriander, mango and puke; finishes lightly dry and bitter. Perfect mouthfeel, though. Final thoughts: I really wanted to like this. I'm not a Blue Moon hater. I didn't see a Blue Moon beer on the shelf and automatically think I was going to give it a low score. I was rooting for this thing. But it's just not good at all. It's so puke. It just screams puke. What the hell happened here?

0,33 l bottle. This one was brewed in UK. Pours hazy yellow with a finger of dissipating white head. Aroma is pleasant, spices, coriander and orange peel, some wheat in the background. Flavor is full of spices and completely artificial. Almost like they brewed something and they threw in a bunch of artificial aromas. Body is light to medium sweet and medium bitter. Finish is quite long, spices dominate it, bitterness lingers for a while. Unfortunately it tastes very artificial.

Pours with a decent head, very hazy and looks like a typical weizen. Taste has a little hint of coriander, adding an orange to this brings out some of the more subtle hints contained within this beer. Very drinkable with a low IBU. Subtle notes of creaminess that really make this a great beer.
