It's not as horrible as some others beers. Is it the best wheat beer? No, but most places don't sell good wheat beers like a Hoegaarden. I'll take it over normal bud/miller/coors any day.
If you're not putting an orange slice in it, you're doing it wrong.
I'm Belgian, we don't put orange slices in out white beer. Some people put a lemon slice in it but an orange?????
:wub:Re: Fruit in the beer.
We put fruit (mangos, apples, peaches, act) over things like chicken, fish and pork. We put fruit in salads. We put fruit in cookies. We put fruit on pancakes and waffles. Fruit just compliments or enhances existing flavors. (or lack there of)
And guess what...some beer is actually brewed with things like lemon or orange zest. Blue moon in particular has *some* kind of orange flavor so adding an orange slice just further enhances that already present flavor.
Same thing with many other various types of wheat that have yeasts, hops, or spices that favor a more tangy citrus flavor like a lemon.
The real women are the ones making fun of fruit in the beer.
If it tastes good, then it tastes good. Fuck off.

I don't mind fruit in beer, but I don't like overly sweet beer. If I want to drink juice I'd grab a Caprisun, not a Beer. For example, I hate apple cider beer, its like drinking apple cider. Apple cider is not beer.

I don't think I've ever seen anything list as "apple cider beer". It's either cider or it's not.
Cider is made from fermented apple juice. It is not grain derived.
I don't put fruit on my meat. I don't eat salads or cookies. I don't put fruit in my beer.
yes its a chick beer
too much coriander
wouldnt need the orange if they would lay off the overpowering coriander when brewing
IMO leinie's beat them at their own game with sunset wheat which is similar without the overpowered flavor present in blue moon
dont really drink either, not my cup of tea
I do love harvest and full moon though
1. People hate domestic brews as a massive trend
2. Concoct an all-new 100% American brew from the very labs of Coors
3. Mention NOTHING about Coors, market it as a 'Belgian White' (now sued and called Belgian-style), even set up its own website and say it's from Blue Moon Brewing Company.
4. 99% of mass market thinks it's a hip Belgian brew and now enjoys mainstream success
Funny, I don't taste the coriander in Blue Moon, but I don't drink it due to the macro-label. Now the coriander in Blache du Bruxelles - that's a LOT. But just because a beer is a certain style doesn't mean it's a chick beer. One of the volunteer's at my local brewery is a big ol' biker and he primarily drinks wheat beers.
As for fruit in beer - a brewer once said on a tour that they don't care if you put fruit in their beer, as long as you're drinking their beer. A chef doesn't say "Don't put ketchup on my steak!" As long as you enjoy the product, do with it as you please.

Blue moon is not a bad beer. It's not the best in its class, but it's good enough. I'd drink it if someone offered me one. I'm not a beer snob though, I drink what I like. I tend to enjoy microbrews for their stronger alcohol contents and flavors (Anything imperial is basically made for my taste buds). I don't like bud or miller, but it has never had anything to do with being a big company, it's purely on taste (I however do not like how they have put the hurt on smaller competition with shady marketing and by keeping our draconian beer laws in place).
are you saying it isn't better than coors light?
