We previously tried the red wine version from the Vintage Ale Collection, Blue Moon Impulse. Long story short, Impulse was more refreshing, and better on all accounts. Blue Moon Proximity is a pale American wheat like Impulse, but it tasted more like wine, than wheat ale. There was not a harmonious taste balance between the hops and grapes.

If the beer was inspired by wine, and came in a wine bottle, we figured why not drink Impulse right out of a red wine glass. You don’t get too many opportunities to drink a wine / beer blend, so you might as well live it up, right?
