Blue Moon Brewing, Blue Moon (USA) (RP) Blue Moon brewery is based in Denver, Colorado, but the beer makes a deep, long bow in the direction of the spiced �white beers� of Belgium, of which Hoegaarden is the best-known brand. As well as barley malt and hops, Blue Moon has the added attractions of oats for creaminess and orange peel and coriander for fruity and spicy notes. The brewery recommends serving the beer with an orange slice or wedge to bring out the subtle flavours of the fruit and spice. It is a good companion for grilled prawns, lemon chicken, dressed crab and white fish. The beer is exceptionally spicy and tart with pronounced hop bitterness for the style. Creamy oats fill the mouth but are well balanced by orange fruit and spices. The finish is long, quenching, spicy and fruity with a good hop attack. Malt: high. Fruit: high. Hops: moderate. 5.4% ABV, 35.5cl, �1.99, Sainsbury's.
