Blue Moon
Brewed with white wheat and oats, Blue Moon features a crisp wheat finish and the perfect combination of orange peel and coriander. Bring out Blue Moon’s natural spices by serving it in a Pilsner glass with an orange-slice garnish.
From what I hear, this stuff is about as popular as water in parts of the US, which makes sense as it’s brewed mostly by Molson in Toronto. As you can see from the picture this one was tasted without the orange-slice. I’m really not a fan of this trend of putting orange slices on, and into Witbiers.
Blue Moon pours up with a white head that quickly dissipates into an attractive cloudy body.
This Witbier gives a pretty weak aroma, highlights after just about sucking some liquid up your nose include bits of orange and a dash of spice. The water analogy used earlier holds through on the taste and the palate. Again spices and orange hints are noticeable. As happens with beers taken over by Molson-Coors, this one shares a lot of the strange biscuity tastes common to Molson brews like (shutter) Coors Light. Seems this one falls into the class of Rickard’s White and Samuel Adam’s Summer Ale.
Overall, this one’s lack luster, something I would grab in the summer faced with the options of other Molson beers.
