Slashfilm recently featured a video that compared Michel Gondry’s new film Be Kind Rewind to The Amanda Show, which aired on Nickelodeon eight years ago. While the concepts are indeed similar, it’s commonplace for these kind of coincidences to happen in entertainment…right?

Fun fact: Blue Moon is a Coors product. Some may know this, but it’s important enough to bring up when reviewing this very un-Coors like brew.

Blue Moon, a white beer, has a carbonated-pulp look not unlike Orangina. And funny enough, it also has a citrus-infused taste that’s usually complimented by a slice of orange when served at certain bars. While a slice of orange may be overkill to most it does effectively intensify the fruity aroma Blue Moon wears ever-so-proudly.

The brew’s closest relative (and competition) would unfortunately be Hoegaarden, high-shaman of the sweet beer stable. To compare the two is quite unfair, seeing that Hoegaarden is far more expensive – and far more tasty, admittingly.

Calling Blue Moon a low-rent Hoegaarden may seem a bit harsh; but considering the quality of the beer it’s being compared to you could do far, far worse in terms of taste. Sure it’s more “watery,” but not as watered-down as Natty Ice and beers of that ilk.

My preferred time to drink Blue Moon would have to be in the late, autumnal hours of October…like right now! (more…)
