10. Blue Moon Belgian White Ale


Number 10!  Woot!  We've gone into double digits baby!  All right, that's enough excitement for today.  If you haven't tried more than ten different types of beers, and you call yourself a beer drinker, then you have bigger problems (or horrible taste..there is no gray area here).

Blue Moon is one of those psuedo-craft beers.  By that, it says that it comes from the Blue Moon Brewing Company, (http://www.bluemoonbrewingcompany.com) but is owned by MillerCoors (those names sound familiar, right?).  Created at Coors Field of all places, the Belgian White is described as a witbier and is usually served with an orange slice (If you're a man, you pass on the orange slice).

My last experience with Blue Moon, I was in a sports bar, getting a pint with some vendors.  The beer itself has this hazy orange color to it, which makes it a darker witbier.  The witbiers that I have consumed in the past were even lighter colors than that.  Nevertheless, this beer is pretty good.  It tastes great on a hot day, very refreshing.  I'm itching to try the varieties that come in their seasonal 12 packs.  

Grade: B-
Price paid: $3.50 (Pint)
