@Thomas – yeah, I think they changed the naming convention from Full Moon to Winter Abbey or something. Not sure if its the same beer with a new name or if its something new. Haven’t had any Blue Moon (anything) in some time now! I didn’t think this beer was awful, it just didn’t do anything for me.

Wow, these reviews seem pretty hard – I actaully like Full Moon (which name was changed to Winter Abbey Ale, I think). Though I see this as yet another attempt to compete with Sam Adams’ Seasonal Beers I think its a pretty good brew. Maybe the noticeable Molassas flavor is too outstanding for most but I like it! I guess Sam’s Winter Lager is my favorite winter seasonal but Full Moon/Winter Abbey Ale is a close runner up.

Nate, that's a great idea actually! There's nothing horrible about this beer, but nothing really great about it either. If I had to describe it to someone from memory at this moment, I wouldn't be able to - yet, I wouldn't tell a friend to avoid it either. Its a solid beer - in an average way!

I had this a few weeks ago and thought it was ok. "Solidly average" that is funny. I think that should be a standardized beer category. The great thing about beer like Full Moon and Budweiser's American ale is that they can ease typical commercial beer drinkers folks into more adventures drinking. nate’s last blog post..Sam Adam’s Utopias: Beer Review
