353 | Blue Moon Belgian White / Belgian Moon | United States | Witbier | 2.8
Aroma: 4 | Appearance: 5 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 6 Had as Belgian Moon <br> 473ml can<br> 5.40% ABV <br> LCBO # 255 (Milton, Ontario, Canada – Main / Bronte) <br> November 20, 2018<br> $2.85<br> I’ve had this for a while so I thought I better try it as witbiers (and faux witbiers) have short shelf lives. The beer pours a hazed medium gold colour with a thick bubbly head that is short lived as are all Macro beer caps. The aroma is stale grains, metallic notes, and cardboard. No wheat or spices. Is it age, or just bad beer? The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is definitely wheat with bubblegum in the mix. Still not a lot of spice or hop notes on the tongue. It certainly tastes better than it smells, and to be honest is quite a bit better than some craft witbiers here in Ontario. |

355 | Blue Moon Mango Wheat / Belgian Moon Mango Wheat | United States | Witbier | 3.1
Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 6 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 4 | Overall: 6 473ml can <br> 5.1% ABV <br> Canned On: January 28, 2020<br> LCBO Outlet #649 (Milton, Ontario, Canada - Sobey's Plaza)<br> June 24, 2020<br> $2.65<br> The beer pours a hazed metallic gold with a thin creamy off-white head. The head lasts a while but there is no lacing. The aroma is dominated by sweet mango notes with wheat, cereal, and light spices in the mix. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is a battle between the mango and the wheat and the loser was my tongue. There is a bitter flavour I can’t put my finger on but it kills the beer. |
