Blue Moon Extra

◎ Appearance

Pours a cloudy light orange with excellent clarity for the style, the suspended yeast creating a soft, diffuse haze. A lasting white head forms and maintains good Schaumkleiden down the glass. The carbonation appears well-integrated, creating fine, steady bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Valencia orange peel dominates the nose, delivering bright citrus character without sharpness. Beneath lies sweet wheat and a distinct herbal coriander note, with a subtle tartness that adds complexity. Hop presence is restrained, allowing the wheat and spice to define the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Ripe citrus and lemon zest enter cleanly on the palate, carried by a soft malt backbone that avoids heaviness. The body is fuller and noticeably sweeter than the standard recipe, with a grainy wheat character supporting the citrus notes. Alcohol warmth builds gradually toward the finish, warming without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish extends with alcohol warmth that builds gently, leaving a fading citrus note and mild herbal spice. Residual sweetness persists without cloying, creating a clean, approachable close.
