This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Blue Moon's Ice Coffee Blonde.
I found this beer in the Beverage Barn in Garden City Park where they were nice enough to break up twelve packs into six packs without a significant upcharge (15.99 for 12 packs - 9.99 for 6 packs). This is one of the reasons that this little beer store has been one of my favorite stores for as long as I am living in West Hempstead.
This beer is one of those rare beers which Mrs KB gave the thumbs up to (as did one of my daughters) but I was not so crazy about. The beer is a blonde ale which means that it is light on hops and the blonde base together with the infused coffee produced a drink which was not quite beer and not iced coffee. Although certain stouts have an inherent dark coffee flavor and other dark ales have infused coffee flavor, they are already starting with a deep dark base. This beer does not have the strong backbone, so the flavor does not meld that well for me. Still, its worth a shot if you like iced coffee and have others that you can split the pack with if you are unhappy with your purchase.
Blue Moon Pacific Iced Coffee Blonde is certified kosher by the Orthodox Union, as is every other current variety of beer produced by Blue Moon. For the experts take on this beer, please click here beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/306/366057.
