the only Blue Moon we have is something called belgium wheat. Doesn't sound like it would be good.

Do you mean Belgian White?

That's what kind of beer Blue Moon is. Try it out...it's good stuff.

I like Blue Moon a lot and yeah, the pumpkin ale was awesome!!! Usually when we go to my favorite pub we get a pitcher of it. Delicious.

I am by no means a beer snob, so they can say whatever they want. Give me a pitcher and some oranges and I'm good to go.

Just tried Blue Moon for the first time the other day and

**91mini** · January 7th, 2007, 06:38 PM

I've heard that Blue Moon and a wedge of orange is very tasty. I have yet to try this though.

Man laws forbid the placing of fruits in any beer.

Section 14.2 states that if it is a foreign beer (or expensive) the use of fruits is allowed, i.e. Blanche de Chambly.

FWIW I cannot stand blue moon.

**Firebird Lady** · January 7th, 2007, 10:45 PM

I'll fruit my beer any time I want!!!

**Jackal** · January 8th, 2007, 01:16 AM

Man laws only apply to men.

**Firebird Lady** · January 8th, 2007, 01:30 AM

Exactly!

**Blazedtech** · January 9th, 2007, 10:13 PM

good stuff, I like it alot but it fills me up.

**tallnick** · January 10th, 2007, 07:35 AM

I really like blue moon.. there is a local brewery around here that serves a blue moon knock off over the summer months that is extremely good!!

Knock off? I didn't realize knock off beers existed.

**chimay** · January 11th, 2007, 12:44 AM

I love wheat beer, and Belgian beer a a rule. But Blue moon has never done much for me. I'm not sure if I just got skunked beer or what. But I'm done with trying it unless some one gives me one that they know isn't skunked.

"Man Law" is also made up by Miller Lite, who coincidently know pretty much nothing about beer.

Very true... Mexican beers are really enhanced (usually) with a lime. I usually like the man laws, but in that case, it's stupid.

Good point.

I honestly have nothing against fruit in beer, my post was made in jest.

I love it with s***y food/buffalo wings.

I'll suggest Hoegaarden White for those that enjoy Blue Moon. Its one of the top rated Belgian White Ales.

I've had a few Blue Moon's with an orange slice, and found the fruit overpowered the beer and all I was tasting was a sweet slice of orange. I'd suggest trying it with, without, and without squeezing it into the beer. A simple wipe around the rim of the glass should suffice to promote or hide any specific flavors.

Wheat beers are also very good with s***y food/wings. They help take the bite off of the food, but do not linger long enough to mask the full flavorings of the meal. Kind of like a pale ale and BBQ, or even a porter and a steak. Some might argue the porter would mask a little of the steak, but I haven't found that to be true to date.

I've almost wrote off all contact with "Mexican" beers. Its either the beer or the lime, or a combination of both, but I get one hell of a hangover after any Dos Equis XX Special Lager or Corona.

Now the Dos Equis XX Amber is a nice amber beer, that doesn't require any additives and is easy to drink, and pretty nice.

lol, mentioned that one in another thread a few minutes ago. I hated it.

**426HEMI** · January 22nd, 2007, 07:31 PM

Cannot stand Blue Moon. Tastes.......odd.

**deafcon** · January 22nd, 2007, 10:17 PM

I've had it once from a bottle, didn't much care for it. I would like to try it from a tap just to make sure it wasn't skunked though.

that's because it's not belgian, it's brewed by coors

on the Hoegaarden. If you enjoy blue moon definitely give it a try. I enjoy it much more than blue moon. Also, if you didn't like blue moon from a bottle, try it from a tap before you completely give up on it.

**sourappletini** · March 21st, 2007, 09:44 AM

If you are ever in Golden, CO go to the brewery. You can taste several of their brews for free in the bar after the tour. Blue Moon was one of the ones they had on tap for us.

On a side note, they have beer taps in the breakrooms.

I've had it on tap, never from a bottle. Of course I hope you're not drinking straight from the bottle... That will obviously kill a lot of the tastes and aromas. The 'get drunk' beers I will drink from a can or bottle of course...

Yuck, I cannot develop a taste for that Hoegaarden White s***. I tried drinking a whole six pack every which way to try and find a suitable serving method. It was vile to me in every way.

Blue Moon and a wedge of orange is very tasty.
