The Eye

A few days ago, I went to Wild Wings, a local restaurant. On draught they had the usual bland fizz, Bud Light, Miller etc, but there was a tap nestling in the middle. White tap handle, pale blue label, which I couldn’t read from where I was sitting.. Humm, I thought could be a wheat beer… It was. I had discovered Blue Moon.

Considering this beer is made by Coors, who, like many of the megabreweries the world over, make endless gallons of chemical crap, I was pleasantly suprised by this beer. Easy drinking for sure, and although it had little aroma, it had an almost floral flavor and quite strong citrus hints too. It wasn’t heavy, and if I’d been in the mood this could certainly have been going down for a long evening session. A rather good after taste too.

Last evening I was in Doschers, a local supermarket, and there it was in bottles. I had to try a six pack. Again I am not disappointed, although I generally prefer my beer on tap. In fact, I’m enjoying another bottle of it, as I type this.

I shall certainly buy it again
