![]() ![]() I really did not expect to be doing this as I came in this process, but I will be wrapping up this Blue Moon LightSky Citrus Wheat review by awarding it a full 5 out of 5 stars. And while the white would never be considered a heavy sipper, this one has even more going for it in terms of drinkability and refreshment. I think the citrus character is better and don’t feel like I need to add an actually orange slice to the rim as I do with the white. It has many of the same qualities as the company’s flagship, but even improves upon it in some small senses. But honestly there isn’t all that much on which to elaborate. Blue Moon LightSky Citrus Wheat RatingĪs such a fan of Blue Moon Belgian White, I think I am probably in a good position to compare and contrast this new lighter version. But just how good? Finish reading the final section of this review to find out where I ended up for my final Blue Moon LightSky Citrus Wheat rating. So the obvious answer to the question is yes, this brew is very clearly good. That is no different here, leaving you with a lasting refreshment The I am a big proponent of crisp, clean finishes, but Blue Moon is one beer that I don’t mind lingering a bit on the tongue, as it is simply the pleasant citrus character that does so. Blue Moon is one of those brands who has effectively removed nearly all of the hops, malt, and wort so as not to trifle with the drinkable fruity wheat. But there is something to be said for doing a couple of basic things correctly and then just removing anything that might get in the way. There is a hint of that grassiness that I sensed on the nose.Ĭomplexity is typically lauded in the beer industry, and I am no exception to that rule. And because the body is lighter, it is able to break through more easily. I guess I was just expecting something of a seltzer quality that luckily isn’t there.Īs I suspected when taking in the aroma, I do believe that the tangerine used in the brewing process has more depth than the valencia. Compared to the the 5.4 percent abv of Blue Moon Belgian White, this isn’t THAT much lighter, so it makes sense that it retains most of the tasty flavor profile. I am a bit surprised by how much character it has, but perhaps I shouldn’t be. I wouldn’t exactly say that my mind was blown, but upon tasting I am actually taken aback by how much I enjoy this beer. I will have to rely almost entirely on the tasting experience to determine, “Is Blue Moon LightSky Citrus Wheat good?” Is Blue Moon LightSky Citrus Wheat Good? The appearance and aroma aren’t giving away much in terms of how this beer differs from the “heavier” version. I think I get a touch of grass but virtually no hops or malt. I think the tangerine character is perhaps a bit richer than the flagship’s valencia orange, but it is not fully unleashed on the nose. The aroma is essentially what you would expect from Blue Moon but very drawn back. A very small head forms atop the body and displays virtually no lacing or retention. There is a smidge of haze that likely comes from being brewed with tangerine peel but not much in terms of carbonation. In a glass, this brew has a similar orange quality as its boozier mother beer but a noticeably lighter shade. ![]()
