Luna Blanca
Alamo Beer Co.

From a can. Pours a golden color with a finger of fluffy white head. Smells of orange peel. Light feel. Typical banana and clove flavors with a crisp acidic finish. Tasty and true to style!

 

i need a lifetimes supply of this! ...or at least enough to get me through the summer. they do a lot of traditional old world styles in here, but this stood out to me as by far the best beer they are making right now, at least from an overall qualoity standpoint, its like a better blue moon, lighter in feel, cleaner, drier, and more carbonated, more subtle with the orange and coriander, fresher, with more raw wheat character, and just enormously compelling as a sunny afternoon slammer, i could have never left this place. very pale in color, looks quite light, not hazy enough to block the light coming through, and the two inch high white head lasts almost the whole drink, i get a foam mustache each pull i take. aroma is soft banana and lemon zest, with gentle allspice notes, red and green apple esters, and a clean orange zip on top of the fresh cereal grains. flavor is awesome, the yeast is perfectly done here, dialed in, flavorful and classic without dominating, and it warms up supremely well for a style i almost always need to be pretty cold to fully enjoy. light clove, white grape, and cheerio notes, tidy in the finish with some minerals and green banana character. its perfect, high carbonation and good wheat body, immensely flavorful and well proportioned. easily the best of their beers that i had while in texas, and maybe one of the best belgian white types out there anywhere right now...
