Blue Moon is a nice entry level Wheat beer made by Coors. If you like this it can open up a whole new world of beers to you.

Visually it is cloudy as it should be. Decent creamy head. The color is a golden orange. The aroma is good of bread and oranges.

The flavor is light be there definitely are several highlights. First is citrus orange and lemon peel. Then the yeast kicks in. The combination lasts through the aftertaste. A hint of coriander. Overall pretty good.
An oddity is that the bottle recommends a slice of orange. Now, most places will serve wheat beers with a slice of orange in it. That's typically a "novice" thing to do and more traditionalist drink it straight. So, it's odd that the bottle recommends it. The orange (or lemon) will have accent the already present citrus flavors. But it does it at the expense of the breadiness. And that's another point. This beer has a yeast flavor. It should be more of baked bread. So, it's not quite as good as it should be. Finally, a really good wheat will have more spice undertone to it. Blue Moon is more generic.

For Coors, this is an A+. But, compared to some great German and European brews, this is definitely a cut below.
