Beer 365 #145 Blue Moon Belgian White
Pours a orange color with white head. The nose had hints of orange (of course this could have come from the orange slice that the bartender dropped in without asking), grain, wheat, citrus. The mouth is somewhat thick with little carbonation. The flavors are watered down, orange, sweet citrus, grain, coriander.
