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.

Draught at rekordling hut, southbank London. Obvious flavours of orange (well, they shoved one in). Overly sweet for wheat despite being very passable. Rerated in bottle in house in port Angeles WA. Didn't find it overly sweet but rather fresh. Kept score the same. Nice refresher.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with red highlights and a medium sized foamy soapy tan head that left decent lacing. The aroma was bitter with cocoa, nut, caramel and wood. The flavor was nutty and malty with hints of caramel, wood and cocoa. Medium length finish. Medium body. Meh.

This review was imported from my RateBeer ratings.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy, golden yellow (e.g. lemonade) with a tall, frothy, white head that dissipates slowly. Smells of sweet lemon and cinnamon. Taste is sweet with flavors of cinnamon and lemon candy. It kind of tastes like a lemonade shandy but where the lemon is very understated. The body is light, the texture is thin, the carbonation is average, and the finish is short with a sweet aftertaste.

If I didn’t know this was beer, I would swear that it is a soft drink.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 4/24/2017. Pours crystal clear deep ruby red/brown color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, chocolate, and cocoa; with lighter notes of nuttiness, orange peel, pepper, herbal, and roast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malts and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, chocolate, and cocoa; with lighter notes of nuttiness, orange peel, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy hop and roast bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, chocolate, cocoa, nuttiness, herbal, pepper, and roast/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from roast/hop bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly chalky balanced mouthfeel that is good. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.8%. Overall this is a good American brown ale. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malts and light-moderate citrus/earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. A little too bitter/drying after the finish; but unique and enjoyable overall.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a mahogany reddish color with a medium white head. A big sweet coffee nose. The flavor is vanilla, cappuccino, light caramel. A bit unbalanced toward the sweet side but surprisingly good.

12oz bottle on 25th Jan 2017 at my Son-in-Laws (in California). Clear pour until the last tip when the sediment joined the rest of the bottle. I thought this tasted like a Hoegaarden Wit with extra hops: which I suppose it more or less is. Quite enjoyed it.

Bottle from Hannaford Brilliantly clear amber copper color with a thin off white head that quickly dissipates. Caramel and light pitted fruit with just a hint of cocoa on the nose. The flavor is sweet candied caramel and little cocoa. Completely Meh.

Bottle from Hannaford Dark ruby brown with a bubbly tan head that dissipates quickly. Cocoa and light coffee on the nose with bits of earth fruit and bread. The flavor is what the aroma promised. Pretty decent beer, but I would have loved a bit more sweetness and or body in this.
