As intriguing and unusual beer infusions become more popular, one company has set itself apart with the launch of the Blue Moon Iced Coffee Blonde. This exciting new beer fuses Blue Moon's famed blonde beer with a robust coffee aroma for a unique and unprecedented palate experience.
This ice coffee-infused beer is one of the first pale coffee beers that has been launched nationwide and is described as "a well-balanced blonde wheat ale with a touch of honey, brewed with fair-trade coffee beans that gives it a great coffee flavor and aroma." To create the Blue Moon Iced Coffee Blonde, the brand worked with Bever-based Luna Roasters to find the perfect decaf bean to use, meaning the pale ale will not actually contain any caffeine.
