Blue Moon White IPA

What the hell? Despite being a mass brewer (part of Miller Coors) Blue Moon brews are usually fairly good - often a "training wheels" version of what you would expect from a true craft brewer; but there is nothing about this beer that says "IPA"; I can't detect much hoppiness; there is barely anything about it that says "White" (generally "white" means a Belgian-style IPA) - there just isn't much truth in advertising going on here. It's as if Blue Moon is trying to capitalize on the popularity of IPAs without the beer actually being an IPA.

Nah. Who would ever do that?

Now, let's pretend for a minute that they called this beer: Blue Moon Summer Ale. If that was what this was, I would have started this off differently, like so:

Blue Moon Summer Ale pours a pale, nay, even a lemonade hue, calling to mind (since it's Blue Moon) the oft-repeated musical trope, "pale moonlight". The head is magnificent, not one, not two, but four fingers of fluffy white cumulus. What other flavors lurk within? Thank you for asking; we have orange peel, we have coriander, what? we have even have some ripe melon!

Outstanding summer ale...just ignore the label.
