Beer Me

Love of beer exists beyond the pleasures of taste and of mind. It is a commitment to the art, the science, and the passion of its creation. From the lowly piece of barley destined to be malted, to the hops in a boil slowly being isomerized; love of beer is not a hobby, it’s a life choice.

Belgian White


Brewery: Blue Moon Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Style Wheat-Ale. (witbier)
Serving Type: Bottle

Once again this is a pretty common beer and most people have had it. This is what a lot of people think of when they buy a “fancy” beer that isn’t one of the big 2 (previously the big 3) makers of megaswill. AB and Miller-Coors. I must say, this is a pretty good beer. Pours a golden orange color.  Not much of a head unless you really splash it in there. Smells quite good. A lot like Hoegaarden. I smell orange peel, coriander, some clove, and some sweet malty undertones. Mouthfeel was not great. This beer is way too carbonated. It almost hurts your tongue. When the carbonation subsides, the flavor of the beer is pretty good. It has a nice citrus beer flavor that is refreshing. Overall a pretty good beer, but I would  rather drink Hoegaarden for this style.
