Under the name Rickard's White. The beer-guy at my local boozer was telling me that Rickard's White is actually just Blue Moon with a new name. I have yet to try it, but a friend of mine did and said it was quite good.


Keep your eyes peeled, Canuckistanis!
 
I am pretty sure that Blue Moon says "Made in Canada' on it, doesn't it?

Has anyone tried the "summertime" version? It is in a yellowish case, I think it has honey in it, it didn't temp me that much.

Yeah, Molson makes it for Coors to sell in the states. As far as I know, it's not available here (not in the west for sure.)

I have heard that you either love this stuff or you hate it - even among beer-snobs.

Their summer seasonal has honey and Orange in it. I thought it was alright but Pumbaa's wife didn't like it. Not a blockbuster but better than BMC thats for sure.

Blue Moon tastes really good to me. Ignore the haters...anything that becomes relatively mainstream the snobs tend to dismiss
 
I have been looking, but still haven't spotted it. Have you found it in many places here in Calgary Chairman??
