A Beer as Rare as a Blue Moon

Blue Loon is our nod to a very popular wheat beer brewed in Colorado. Typically garnished with an orange, this easy-drinking ale is packed with flavor. Bready wheat malt, sweet orange peel, and citrusy coriander swim together to create a wonderfully complex flavor profile without being overly assertive. Dive into a pint and you will notice a subtle bitterness and a clean fermentation profile that let the other ingredients sing. Its deep golden and slightly hazy appearance combined with citrusy flavors will bring recollections of sunny days and moonlit nights.

Notes from Brad, Northern Brewer Head Brewer:

“This recipe pays homage to a beer that has unequivocally introduced many people to the world of craft beer. Wheat and barley combine to create a smooth base for the real heroes to shine. Spanish sweet orange peel and coriander provide a flavor blast that takes center stage. This Belgian inspired ale is an absolute classic in the beer realm, and this is my take on it. Although not fermented with Belgian yeast, the characteristic ingredients remain the same to make it an American take on the classic Witbier style. Expect to find notes of fresh bread with supporting citrus notes of lemon and orange and a slight haze. If you are crafting this recipe by all-grain traditional mash tun methods, I recommend adding some rice hulls to prevent the mash from getting stuck due to the high percentage of huskless wheat. If you are brewing with malt extract or conducting a BIAB approach, no modifications are necessary. Have fun with this recipe, it will produce a quaffable ale that you will be proud of. ”

Not a bad brew!

I tasted this the other night and although it doesn't taste like Blue Moon, it is a good beer to drink and share with friends. I think I will let it sit in the bottle another week or two as I always find that the longer it sits, the better it tastes.

Blue Loon extract

First time brewing this extract. 5 gal batch kegged. Final product turned out to look and taste more like a brown ale. Similar to a Newcastle brown ale. Taste and finish was still very good. Just wasn't quite what I was expecting. Otherwise, overall great beer.

Pretty Damn Close!

I was skeptical on how comparable this would be to Blue Moon. From the first one I popped the cap on, I have been amazed out how good it is. I just ordered another kit & now going to my beer fridge to grab one to enjoy while I do a fall cleaning on my Jeep.

Left this one in the FV for just over three weeks. Took another three weeks of bottle conditioning for that 'green' flavor to subside but turned out quite nice.
