L: Hazy golden orange, 1” white head has medium retention.
S: Zesty nose, wheat, orange, hints of spicy hops.
T: Wheat and grainy barley malt, orange and herbal hops.
F: Frothy light-medium body, high carbonation, crisp bite.
O: Mediocre, had many of these in the past but it’s been a while and I’m finding it bland to taste. A good, brewed for the masses gateway beer I believe.

Seems to be eveywhere, so I tried this white wheat beer. Not as offensive as a typical hazy wheat beer, but what flavor it has is not pleasant. Bitter & bad-smelling, only to be drank if the rest of the beer section is empty.

Blue moon and I have a long history together. It was my favorite beer before I found craft beer. It pours a beautiful orange color. Nice citrus notes and very crushable. All you need is an orange slice and a beautiful spring ir summer day.

It's a good beer to throw back after doing outdoor work on a hot summer day. Decently crisp, some citrus notes to it, and not heavy enough to weigh me down.

This beer falls just short of middle of the pack for me. Nice color decent head that dissipates quickly and leaves no lacing at all. Sign of a bad beer right there! However. It has a good mouth feel and goes down easily with more taste and less carbonation like Budweiser or any of the other big American mass produced beers. Every beer I opened had sediment on the bottom. Probably left over yeast that wasn't completely filtered out. I stopped short of having more than 3 out of a 12 pack because I'm 99.9% sure this beer would have given me the sharts. If you are just having a beer or 2 with dinner or lunch it would be a decent mid range beer of choice but if you are looking to drink a 6 pack or more to warp the brain I'd suggest you find something else. I've had worse but won't bother with this one again.

At cellar temperature, the pour to empty the contents of two brown twelve ounce bottles produces too much foam. That's expected from a wheat based beer. Now in a clear glass liter mug, the foam adopts just a tint of the color of the brew. That would be opaque and dark apricot-amber. After some of the foam recedes, it's not a bad looking beer. The esters and almost stale and metallic characters within the smell indicate that there's plenty of wheat involved here. As such there is only a watery body, ergo not much of a backbone. The only thing that mitigates that is there's no real bite to put this out of balance. Since there's no added fruit in this sample, there's not much to taste, except for the level of hopping you can get from a Coors Banquet. There's some good to that, as the stale and metallic taste of some in this style is almost unnoticed. No sustaining head, no glass lacing and no character makes this a bad choice. Sure, there are worse, Corona for example. But this is certainly In the don't bother category.

The first beer I ever drank way back in 1998. Tastes like banana now and laters and shredded wheat. Good gateway to greater beers like Franziskaner and Konig
