Sight - Blue Moon follows a traditional Belgium wheat ale that has been crafted for centuries in Europe. It is a bit on the lighter side of others Belgium, but that is not too problematic. It shows character more than anything else. It does not carbonate as well as other beers by appearance. The head is weak. As you can see in the picture, it disappears right before your eyes, like a cheap magic trick.
Smell - One sniff reveals nothing. A second nothing, and a third sniff still gives does not give off any smell. Not a hint of beer or wheat, one of the main ingredients in this beer. It is one of the biggest disappointments when a beer has no smell, because first it may mean there is no taste, and even worse, a lack of character. Taste - Any fears that the smell may of brought forth are relieved with a sip of this beer. A sweet symphony of wheat and hops plunge into your mouth, delighting any one who drinks it. Yet, after it is done, there is no after taste, as there are with the majority of other Belgium Wheats. It is also much lighter in taste and in alcohol content than most Belgium Wheats, which is a huge down fall of Blue Moon.
Overall - Blue Moon should not be called a Belgium Wheat Ale due to its serious flaws. It looks like one, but that is all that is has gong for it. It has no smell. While it has a good taste, it is not what a Belgium Wheat Ale taste like. I mentioned that I do not review beer based on image, but when the beer is mislabeled, I have to take this into consideration.
1 out of 5 cheers!
