202 Blue Moon Belgian White / Belgian Moon United States Witbier 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

pours a pale cloudy orange-gold color witha medium sized head that dissipated almost instantly. A very thin bubble lace that sticks around about as long as the head. The aroma is sweet smelling, lots of citrus and hints of coriander and lightly peppery and pleasant to the nose. The taste is creamy moderate body with a light crispness from the wheat. Sweetness hits up front that creeps into a light citrus and peppercorn flavor. Finishes with the lingering crispness of wheat, and just enough dryness to make your mouth water for another taste. No real hop flavor.

203 Blue Moon Blackberry Tart Ale United States Fruit Beer 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours a crystal clear amber color with a purplish hue with small slightly off white head with average retention. The aroma of blackberries hit you right upfront and then a faint malt aroma joins the mix. The taste is just like the aromas. Blackberries right off the bat. Starts of tart but doesn't linger and quickly moves to a sweet. Nice malt background. Well balanced fruit beer. The mouth feel is enjoyable, a very creamy beer that is in between light and medium body. Very refreshing. One of the best by blue moon.

However it did have good carbonation though out.

poures a clear deep amber color with an off-white small head that dissipated quickly leaving thin head lacing. Carbonation was moderate.

The mouthfeel is light to medium body with a thin texture, moderate carbonation and thin body. I must admit I can't stand anythink pumpkin.

215 Blue Moon Vintage Ale Collection Impulse United States Wheatwine 3.2

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6

pours strikingly blood red color,like wine, a pastel pink head tops the beer but disappears quickly. The aroma has an initial whiff of wine, digging deeper reveals dusty, dry yeast intricacies with a touch of spice and soft wheat finish. The taste is like the aroma is a wine, which carries over into the flavor nicely. The subtle base of malt and wheat is all but overlapped by grape juice that directly reflects the type of wine it produces, not a generic "grape" flavor while faint yeast pokes through the finish with a touch of dry spice. The mouthfeel was medium/light body with a high carb and a crisp finish.

216 Blue Moon Vintage Ale Proximity United States Fruit Beer 3.7

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 7

Pours a pale golden in color with a slowly forming white head that disappears to a ring of tight bubbles quickly. The aroma begins with a white wine scent that's curious; tannic white grape skin and a touch of solvent alcohol, iwhich plays off the dry yeast-driven aroma with very faint spice in the background. Light orange peel sweetness and touches of peach cobbler kiss the soft wheat but nothing about this aroma is powerful; all very subtle. the taste has subtle wine notes that toy with the base beer, balancing well with it's intricacies. White grapes add a touch of sweetness as well as tartness in the grape skin reflecting the notes of sweet malt and soft wheat. The dance of malt and grape concludes with a dry, faintly spicy yeast flavor, hint of pear, and gentle tickle of floral hops. The mouthfeel is wine like, with medium body and carbonation.

217 Blue Moon Vintage Blonde Ale United States Blonde Ale 3.5

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours a hazy gold with a small quick-fading bright white head. The aroma dominated by grapes with a touch of honey and light spice. The taste is all grapes up front followed by some banana sweetness, lemon, and light clove on the finish. The mouthfeel has moderate carbonation and a slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Overall it's tasty and refreshing with big Chardonnay grape flavor and just a hint of booze. Nice high ALC of 8.5% it's hidden well. This beer proves even the macro brewers can if they want produce good beer.

219 Blue Mountain Barrel House Blitzen United States Belgian Strong Ale 3.6

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Pours nearly crystal clear ruby red color with a very large very dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings around the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation. The aroma is of big cherry, plum, raisin, pear, apple, caramel, molasses, candy sugar, toast, brown bread, clove, pepper, floral, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy yeast notes; with good strength. The taste is of cherry, plum, raisin, pear, apple, caramel, molasses, candy sugar, toast, brown bread, clove, pepper, floral, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of cherry, raisin, plum, pear, apple, caramel, molasses, candy sugar, toast, brown bread, clove, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice balance and complexity of malt and fruity/spicy yeast ester flavors. The mouthfeel has a great malt/yeast flavor balance and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a moderately slick and slightly syrupy mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a small warming present after the finish. Barely got the wire cap off and the cork virtually exploded from the bottle.

220 Blue Point Blueberry Ale United States Fruit Beer 4.1

Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

Pours out a clear bright golden color with a slim, brief, white head and little lacing. The aroma is sweet-scented, aromatic blueberry notes, and enough underlying malty hints to remind you you're drinking a beer. The taste is sweet, sugar-toned malts with very mild notes of faintly toasted breadiness to it. Blueberry flavor through and beyond the finish, naturally, which, when joined with the initial sugariness, is like biting into the sugar-coated top of a blueberry waffel. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-plus carbonation.

223 Bluegrass American Pale Ale United States American Pale Ale 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

pours a deep gold/light amber with a slight haze with some floaties and a decent medium sized head with good staying power. The aroma is mostly a citrus hop aroma with some piney notes as well. Quite strong overall with a little light caramell in the background. The taste has the malt come through more than the aroma would suggest. Grainy with a solid caramel component as well. The hops play only a flavor role the first couple sips, but with each sip the bitterness compounds to further check the afforementioned malt sweetness. The beer maintains a fair hop balance through the semi-dry finish. The mouthfeel is medium body with solid carbonation.

224 Bluegrass Jeffersons Reserve Bourbon Barrel Stout United States Imperial Stout 3.4

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

pours pitch black color with a medium sized light tan head that settles down to a thin cap with a decent amount of lacing and retention. The aroma is of burnt malts, milk chocolate, cheap bourbon and a touch of vanilla sweetness, but the char is rather dominating with no hints of oxidation. The taste is incredibly tame and mellow with roasted malts, coffee beans, milk chocolate, vanilla, and oak with almost no bourbon presence. The mouthfeel is thin to medium with ample carbonation.

225 Boddingtons Pub Ale United Kingdom Bitter 2.6

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 5 | Flavor: 5 | Overall: 5

pours a light gold with a strong, creamy head. Super thick and puffy. The aroma was disappointing as you didn't get much of an aromoa, what you did get was a kind of a basic malt smell with a bit of sweeter fruit. The taste was really a let down. It was almost like a richer, creamier, US macro brew. It was certainly bready and maybe a bit of banana in there at the end.
