You have to be pretty ballsy to produce a beer that is going to force a bar carry a whole different line of fruit just to garnish your beer. We all know the hefeweizens are garnished with a lemon, Corona/Pacifico gets the lime and Michelob Ultra with a side of vagina. The Blue Moon Belgian White on the other hand is best served with an orange garnish, and here’s why:
According the Blue Moon Brewing Company Web site: Our Belgian Style Wheat Ale is brewed with a touch of coriander and a blend of Valencia and Naavel orange peel. This makes an orange garnish the perfect complement to our beer - bringing out these flavors by heightening the citrus aroma and taste. We consider it our exclamation point.
Luckily Blue Moon hit the mark, this is an awesome unfiltered beer and the orange makes it. Sure, someone is probably going to say putting fruit in your beer is gay or something, but it’s an orange damn it! They are so good, not to mention, filled with Vitamin C, which is going to help fend off those pesky fall/winter colds and the flu.
The Blue Moon Belgian White is definitely best for the summer season, so I had to order one up this past weekend before all the Oktoberfest beers start to hit the shelves and seasonal taps at my local watering holes. If you live in a location that still allows you to wear shorts or a t-shirt during the day, I suggest you give it a whirl, it’s like a cold glass of alcoholic-OJ on a warm day. Oh and have a good Halloween.

You should also note that it’s a Coors brand beer. Nothing wrong with that or anything, but just something that people should know.
yeah blue moon is pretty awesome. I never knew that you garnished it with an orange though, no bartender has ever given me an orange.
I’m about to call them out on that.
