Most of you got it....... the clone is on the LEFT. The real blue moon is on the right. I should have shook the keg to get more yeast in suspension before I poured it.
On a taste test I was surprised how little the blue moon fit the style. Not much spice taste and no tartness (I think they use an american wheat yeast).
I am biased on my beer, but then again I just took a Hoegarrden recipe and added Crystal 10L to get the color.
Here is the Reader's Digest version of the Recipe:
5lb Wheat Malt
5lb Belgian 2-row
1lb Crystal 10L
.5 lb flaked oats
.5lb rice hulls
Mash at 152°
1 lb flaked wheat in the brew pot up to 170°
15 IBU Mt. Hood hops at 60 Min
.5 oz crushed corriander at 5 min
1.5 whole Clemantine orange peels scored
Belgian Wit Yeast - Blow off tube!!!
10 days primary - no secondary
Thanks for the one comment on my tile job. I did that last summer along with granite tile counters. I would build everything if I could.
Cheers to all that participated in my pop quiz.
