    Sounds horrible based on the name but you never know until you try it.

    Odd Side has a coffee blonde ale. Actually really good. You have to like coffee. Which I do. Some IPAs are good with coffee too.
    Maybe find a place with singles before comitting to a 6er. :beers:

    I have not seen it around but honestly I would not seek out. With all the local guys and others making stellar beers like this why reach for a watery commercial version.

    I am willing to bet you see more and more of this from the big boys, they are desperate to break into these flavors/styles in order to capture more of the market.

    Cheers

    Insight in MN makes an awesome Coffee Golden Ale called Banshee Cutter. But, of course, Insight is a better brewery than Blue Moon.

    Jumped the shark, and to be honest, a little bit too late. I'm bored.

    It's not bad. Generally speaking, I like the oddball Blue Moon beers. For a while their seasonal mixed packs were part of my regular rotation. They seem to have dialed their line-up waaaay back in the last year, though.

    Good to know!
    Odd Side Bean Flicker recently started using different coffee companies each time they brew/release it. Just like Epic did with Son of a Baptist. Coffee really shines when brewed right. If I see a single of the Blue Moon I'll give it a try. :beers:

    Went to beer fest this Oct. 98% of beers had coffee in them. Seemed to be this year's "gose" which was the rage last year.

    The TTB thinks it is - COLA lists it as a "906 MALT BEVERAGES SPECIALITIES - FLAVORED" just like countless "craft beers" flavored with vanilla, coffee, chocolate, fruits and herbs., etc.

    Labeled "Wheat Ale":

    Will have to try it if I find it. They had an Oatmeal Stout a few years back that was delectable.

    I'm not opposed to trying this, as I usually enjoy coffee anything.

    Yeah many years ago I used to receive their seasonal packs as gifts and what not and for the price they weren't bad at all.
