IPA= Sucking on a WARM Grapefruit. No Thx.

I have to admit I used to feel the same way but man has that changed. Sure, there are some IPA's that are just tastebud assaulting hop bombs, and there is place for that. There are also a ton out there that are hoppy but very well balanced with sweet malt backbones to help offset the hop (warm grapefruit) character. Lately it seems all I drink is double IPA's but I can see why it wouldn't be for everyone.
 
I tried the summer Blue Moon last weekend and thought it was bland. Not hopsy enough for me. But I drank it anyway cuz that's what we had. I won't buy it again. My wife may.
 
I never had a problem with Bud. I always thought it was fine to drink. They do use rice though. Does Coors? Come to think of it, I used to drink Coors (when I could) also. Back then they didn't stock it east of the Mississippi I believe. If not whatever it was it wasn't around in Jersey.

I was alway more of a Becks, Paulie Girl, Fosters kinda guy.

Justin, since you work in a bar do you use Coors light to wash your pint glasses. BWUAHAHAHAHAHA

By the way, when are we all coming to your house for BBQ & fine C'gars? I have always enjoyed myself.

I will spell it out for you since that was not good enough.

Blue Moon is a Belgian style and not a very good one, where as Hoegaarten is a true Beligian, there is no comparison. Well that is except the price but that is the case with all true Belgians. Many micro breweries make a Belgian style ale or white or what have you and try to sell it for the same price as an imported true Belgian and I am not buying :D.

That better :confused:

Yep, that's better. And it wasn't real freaking hard to do either was it:confused:

Take it a step further. What is a true Belgian versus Belgian style? Just made in Belgium? Or should I just keep to my uneducated tastes and stick with the Carling's Black Label.:)

Blue Moon is Anheuser Busch's version of the Belgian White Ale.. Its good, but not a true Belgian White.. If you like the Blue Moon, you should definitely try Hoegaarten Belgian White, a true BWA..

I run a bar that carries both. I cant figure out how to say this without offending anyone, but im gonna try.. Blue Moon is the "trendy" choice of the not "true belgian ale drinkers" Its good, and it sells, but true Belgian Ale drinkers will always go for the Hoegaarten..

(if anyone a offended by this, lighten up, and i apologize!)

I couldn't agree more! I love Hoegaarden. It's hard to find lately.

Eh, my roommate bought a 12 pack recently. I tried one but didn't like it as much as the Sam Summer. I will agree with some people and say that the BW and the Winter are decent, but the Spring and Pumpkin are a little nasty for me. To each his own.
 
love the honey moon ,,love the way it taste when im smoking the flavors of the cigar and the beer is perfect but the cigar has to be a mild to medium stick
