Blue Moon is surprisingly one of the higher rated, cheap beers out there. It's very high market and it has very solid reviews. Also, it's made by the Coors Brewing Co. which makes it #2 on it's non-retired listing on ratebeer.com. So, the enhanced version, the Grand Cru, should be better. And it is - #1. Let's see how it is.
Pours with a nice golden color. It's translucent with a nice solid head that falls quickly. The nose is of oranges and light hops and touches of citrus. There are also touches of coriander and other winter spices. The taste is of bitter hops and light barley. There is also a slight citrus touch. It's very reminiscent of a Blue Moon/Chimay White hybrid. Kind of strange, but kind of cool. The texture is quite smooth with a slight touch of carbonation. It's pretty velvety with a combination of heavy and smooth textures. There are nice transitions in the whole beer between all of the aspects.
Overall, this is a very solid beer. Far and away the most solid beer out of the Coors Brewing Company and easily trumps the standard Blue Moon. And the original Blue Moon is great. So, this is better - great job.
