Blue Moon Brewing Company are part of the large MillerCoors brewing conglomerate which means it has fallen out of favour with many beer enthusiasts in recent times. Despite this, it is still both a great example of the style and a gateway beer for many people. Blue Moon Belgian White has a zesty orange fruitiness with a light spicy aroma from the wheat. The addition of oats gives the beer a creamier mouthfeel. There is a crisp and tangy taste at first with the Valencia orange peel giving a subtle sweetness. Often you will find this beer served with a slice of fresh orange to accentuate the orange flavours. The finish presents coriander and orange spiciness.
Witbiers such as this will sit perfectly alongside any salad just as long as the dressing is not overly sweet. Try pairing this beer with a simple beetroot, pea and avocado salad and be prepared for a kind of magical synergy.
Bottles of Blue Moon can be purchased from most large supermarkets throughout the UK.
