Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale
Posted by dugpark on April 13, 2008
Yesterday was a heck of a day… started strong, up and at ‘em nice and early. Had a great little bit of lunch on the deck (see below) during some absolutely outstanding spring weather (I think it was about 70 all day). I decided to try Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring Ale (pic of web site below) because I am a sucker for seasonals… and we hadn’t reviewed anything from Blue Moon yet. I also liked the thought of a little lime in there… I am also a sucker for lime… what can I say?
My first of two bottles started out really strong, just like the day. Unlike the day, though, about halfway through it turned on my somehow and it just didn’t last. It went bitter, quick, and I couldn’t finish. Not one to trust my taste buds fully, I tried the other one as I was barbecuing a steak on the charcoal grill later in the evening. This one had much better staying power and tasted pretty solid.
My verdict is as follows… good head, good light and golden color, nice clean and crisp flavor. What I think happened with the first, though, was that I left it in the mug, in the sun as I ate… I will have to buy more to test my theory, but my suggestion is that you keep this one cold. Don’t let it warm up and you will likely find it quite enjoyable.
