The signs of fall: cooler nights, shorter days, school starting, leaves changing (well, not quite yet) and of course, fall seasonal beers appearing on shelves. However, this arrival also means the imminent departure of the summer beers. Seeing this, and realized that summer had really gotten away from me, I had to grab a Blue Moon Summer 12 pack before they disappeared for the year. The sampler pack has 4 each of Blue Moon, Honey Wheat, and Blue Moon's Belgian Pale Ale. I have had all of these numerous times before, so their taste was nothing new to me, but it still remains one of my all time favorites. There's not much wrong with this beer. One of my all time favorites, the beer requires some doctoring before that first sip. It is recommended to roll the beer gently on the table, or invert the bottle and gently rotate it, allowing the air bubble to disperse the sediment that settled on the bottom. Also, many add an orange slice to it foe a bit of extra flavor, while it is not necessary to enjoy the beer, it does add a nice touch that complements the beer very well. If you're like me and fresh fruit is at a premium in your house, a small splash of OJ has nearly the same effect. Blue moon has a nice smell to it that reflects the taste of the beer almost identically. The taste is very smooth, bitter on the back of the tongue and sweet on the front and a hint of orange (obviously). For some reason I cant have more than a couple though, as it starts to taste a little funky, maybe that's just me. That's besides the point as this isn't the kind beer you drink more than a few of, lets leave that to Busch Light... Anyway, one of my all time favorites, I highly recommend it.
