Blue Moon Belgium White:
Greetings beer lovers.  We all agree there are greatest hits that exist in the pantheon of beer, and while the majority of the beer drinkers out there will differ on the vast majority of what should be in that list I firmly believe that to those who have tried it, Blue Moon Belgium White would be on their list.  The beer is a classic, bridging that gap between those funky Smurf lovers and their beers and us American beer drinkers.  A Colorado brew originally called Bellyslide Belgian White (originally brewed at Coors Field Sandlot Brewery in the mid 90’s), the marketing guys got wise, changed the name to Blue Moon (Richard’s White in Canada).  The beer pours cloudy with a constantly moving hazy thanks to it’s unfiltered nature and gives off a nose of oranges, wheat and a undertone of coriander.  The taste is one of a toned down wheat beer that doesn’t have any lemon bite that seems to show up in most unfiltered wheat but replaces it with an orange zest flavor that is highlighted by the orange slice that traditionally accompanies a Blue Moon.  A good beer that used to be one of my favorites in the summer time though I will admit this is probably my first Blue Moon in a year or so, and while it was nice to enjoy, I know that there are plenty of other very good summer beers out there right now.  If you haven’t tried it yet, it deserves a shot from you, it just make it’s way into your greatest hits as well.
