Blue Moon Belgian White
Bought this while out of town one weekend- the guy that sold it to me could tell me nothing about it- serves me right for not doing my homework! Poured from a 12 oz bottle dated DEC26 04 {edit:ohmygosh, it's a Belgian in a screw-top!} It's a dull,hazy. golden yellow. Had an off-white foamy to sudsy 1/2 finger head, despite the fact I poured aggressively into a clean glass trying for a bigger head. The head excused itself fairly quickly, before one or two sips. The nose was nice! It promised a taste of fruits, oranges, cloves, malt with some yeasts. But, the taste disappointed me some...lacking something there in the middle. The aftertaste was dry and a bit sour. I kept going back for more sips and mouthfuls, trying to sort out what I was tasting- A bit of wheat, some apricot-like sweeteness with some other fruits and spicyness. As it warmed more the wheat/malt diminished and the tartness increased. Didn't make me want another.
