Two Nerd Party

Brewer: Molson Coors Brewing Company
Type: Pale Wheat Ale
Rating: 7/10

I've liked every one of Blue Moon's seasonal ales so far (though I still have yet to try the Harvest Moon, since pumpkin beer kind of scares me.) Honey Moon is brewed with "clover honey, orange peel, pale malt, and malted white wheat", so it has a warm, summery taste. It's not quite as crisp as the Rising Moon, but it's still a nice beer for warm weather.

Susi picked this out at the Spec's the other day, and I was pretty skeptical. This beer has a giant orange dude (not a dude who's orange, but a dude who's actually an orange) on the front, surrounded by wheat, with BELGIAN WHITE printed in big letters underneath. I'm not personally a fan of Belgians (the beer; as a whole I find Belgian people "charming and quaint"), nor am I a big fan of wheat beer. When I do find a hefe I like, I don't generally prefer it with a big slice of citrus sticking in its side. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I tasted this beer; it's got the thicker, bready taste that hefes sometimes do, but it also got an excellent flavor to follow it up. There's just a hint of hops (just the right amount), and possibly just a hint of citrus. Not at all the light, watery orange juice flavor I was expecting based on the label.
