Blue Moon Proximity Ale?

[Brewmex41]

I just converted my step dad to good craft beer. He told me his favorite beers were Corona and Blue moon. So I went to the website for blue moon and I found something that caught my eye.
Proximity ale.

A crisp citrus to floral taste from the juice of the grapes.
Mouthfeel

Finish
Nice crisp finish with fading floral and herbal notes.

This really caught my eye. I'm on a Nelson Sauvin kick lately. I really want to try this beer, but it looks like they dont make it any more.

I'm really intrigued by the ingredients. 100% white wheat and Nelson Sauvin hops.


I wonder if anyone has tried this beer and can give me some tasting notes. I think I am going to try and make something like this, and if anyone has pointers I'd be open to hearing them


Thanks HBT!

I've had it before and believe I can probably still get it around here. I'm not good with the whole beer review thing but it was ok. Nothing special had more of the wine taste than anything. I bought it simply because I like Blue Moon but it's no where near the same as Blue Moon. Would I drink it again...yeah, would I buy it again. Probably not. If you're interested in doing a trade though PM me and the next time I'm in town I will see if I can still get it.
