awareness says "a noble try which falls short considering available alternatives" about Blue Moon Belgian Style White/Wheat ale

Blue Moon is an interpretation of a witbier. Hence it is smooth, refreshing, and has a citrus-y flavor. However, Blue Moon is unnecessarily sweet and leaves a cloying, medicinal aftertaste.

Blue Moon simply doesn't stand up to Hoegaarden (widely available) which is the yardstick of witbier nor even less to my witbier of choice, Hitachino Nest White Ale (which unfortunately is harder to find and slightly pricier). If you like Blue Moon, try each of these two alternatives and see if you don't like them better. There are also more recent entries into the witbier category from various American craft breweries.

In short, I agree that Blue Moon might be approachable for "first-time beer drinkers" and as such should be applauded, but it falls far short of the mark if you compare it to the alternatives in the same flavor category.

Life is too short to settle for less.

Regardless, it's really heartening to see so many people get into this type of beer!

coldbeerhere says "Great beer most of the time" about Blue Moon Belgian Style White/Wheat ale

I enjoy blue moon very much. However, there are times when I purchase blue moon (I buy the 12 packs) there is sediment in the bottles. It's in chunks or stuck to the inside of the bottle. It has happened to me twice in the last two months. I may get 3 or 4 good beers out of a 12 pack. The rest I have to throw away! If you try and drink one with the sediment inside, it makes for a very unpleasent beer. The last 12 pack I purchased for the Thanksgiving Holiday's, and it was bad. It was dated Jan0410 D10070358 R54 27923. I am just being truthful. I would like blue moon to continue to be my beer of choice, so please take care of this problem.

Kind Regards,

Darrell Payne

I love Blue moon with mainly fried food and appetizers. Great with chicken wings and football. It really quenches your mouth with heat from the wings. it's a lot thicker beer than your bud or coors light so you get a little more filler with it. If you love wine then you would like this beer.

I absolutely love Blue Moon Belgian Syle White/Wheat ale, especially with an orange. This has to be my favorite beer. I drink it on special occasions, or when I'm just entertaining, BBQing and hanging out with friends. I really enjoy turning people on to the unique taste of this chilled brew. Thank the beer gods!...

ScottPalmetto says "Great beer for a summer night in Arizona" about Blue Moon Belgian Style White/Wheat ale

Blue Moon is a great ale. Enjoy it with an orange wedge. It is brewed by the Molson Coors Brewing Company, and started in 1995. It was originally called the 'Bellyslide Belgian White.' The orange wedge will accentuate the flavor of the beer. Coors does not actively advertise that they own Blue Moon since they think it'll dimish the beers credibility. Blue Moon is a light ale, so if you're looking for something a bit more substantial... this isn't it. Keep in mind, this is best with an orange wedge. Need I say more....

After a nice bike ride on the trail nothing is better than sitting around with your friends drinking Blue Moon with a slice of orange to restore your energy and relax from the ride. Like I said, it is a like a little slice of heaven....

I love Blue Moon, it is so refreshing, nothing like squeezing a fresh orange slice in to a Blue Moon beer! I prefer it in a frozen glass instead of out of the bottle! :o). Some people use lemons but I prefer oranges in it!...
