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.

Too bitter, missing too many hops.

12 oz bottle from a friend’s party. Poured a hazy yellow straw color with a medium sized, fluffy white head. Aroma was some light grassy hops, light citrus. Flavor was more Blue Moon than IPA. Light citrus, light earthy and some floral hop notes. Fine.

12oz bottle at a friends party. I mean, it’s like mango juice concentrate. I have no idea if it’s legitimate or if it’s like fake juice here. The mango notes cut into the wheat character you’d expect in a Blue Moon. Juicy. I want to slam it, but I’ll be honest. It was refreshing.

At Glacier Grill & Pizza, Coram. Served with an orange slice on the glass rim, a habit that has struck me in the U.S. to which I cannot get used. Pours cloudy yellow with a diminishing, foamy, white head. The aroma has orange peel, citrus, wheat, some light banana and dough. It tastes light sour, very light bitter and medium sweet with lingering orange in the finish. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Not that good.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Hannaford. Appearance is cloudy dark yellow/orange with greenish tinge, fair sparkle, quickly disappearing ring of fizzy white head and no lacing. Aroma is wheat, coriander and mix of champagne- and cheesy yeast. Taste is wheat, coriander. Palate is smooth, medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation and finish as taste with a pasty mouthfeel. Overall, not a strong flavor and not very complex. Ho hum.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Hannaford. Appearance is cloudy yellow with fine, dark particulates, light sparkle, minimal fleeting fizzy white head with no lacing. Aroma is wheat, orange, dank musty resin. Taste is wheat, resin bitter, citrus. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation and slightly sweet, though mostly bitter, finish. Overall, nothing too special going on here and what’s here isn’t that interesting.

Bottle from IGA, Cookeville, Tennessee. Clear golden with a carbonation and a small head. Crisp and suitable for summer sipping, although not blessed with a huge amount of wheat beer character. The honey is more stated providing the best of its nose, and a smoothness in its texture.
