About
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.

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.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Hannaford. Appearance is cloudy yellow with decent sparkle, finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong mango. Taste is strong mango bordering on the medicinal, late mild bitter. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and mix of sweet and lightly bitter finish. Overall, pretty much a one-trick pony. If you like mango you’ll likely really enjoy it, though it borders on cloying.

Bottle pour into pint glass from Hannaford. Appearance is clear, pale yellow with minimal sparkle, ephemeral fizzy white head and no lacing. Aroma is caramel malts, brown sugar, honey. Taste is like aroma with late light bitter. Palate is light bodied with sticky texture, fizzy carbonation and abrupt finish. Overall, sweetness is pretty much all that is here. Disappointing.

(Draught at Bishop’s Arms Folkungagatan, Stockholm, 2 June 2017) Hazy golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of bread, orange and spices. Malty, fruity taste with bread, orange, coriander and citrus peel. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Low bitterness. Fairly tasty and balanced, better than expected. Quite enjoyable.
