Yes, that is a picture of Blue Moon’s Spring Blonde Wheat
Ale in the trash. Why you ask? Because it is garbage. I like to do positive
beer reviews, because that means I just drank a beer that I like.
Unfortunately, this review will not be positive.
Due to some unseasonably warm weather, I thought I would
make some beermosas. For those of you who have not tried a beermosa, I would
highly recommend it as a summer beer cocktail. Just put about ¼ cup of orange
juice in the bottom of your beer glass and pour in your favorite Belgian White
Ale. Surprisingly good.
I purchased the Blue Moon Spring Mix pack, seeing as all of
the beers already had some sort of orange in them and were variants of the original
Blue Moon Belgian White, I thought they would be perfect for some more
adventurous beermosas. (My advice after trying them, just stick with a classic
Belgian White Ale).
Since the beermosas were less than successful, I decided to
try the Spring Blonde Wheat Ale on its own. Honestly, I could barely tell the
difference between it and a Butt Light, oops I mean a Bud Light (Freudian
slip?). Maybe my expectations were too high, but I will never again buy this carbonated
beer flavored water. Speaking of carbonation, it was probably the only saving
grace of this beer, the crispy fizz helping me to get it down.
I paid 14.99 for this twelve pack. For an extra dollar or
two, I could have gotten a twelve pack from one of my favorite local brewers, The
Great Lakes Brewing Company. Or, for about four dollars less I could have
gotten a twelve pack of Yuengling, which although cheaper, tastes much better
than this Blue Moon.
I guess Blue Moon is an appropriate name for this brewery,
because you should only buy their beer once in a blue moon.
Stay Classy,
