You know spring is right around the corner when you see spring ales springing up (sorry) at the supermarket and in breweries.

I'm already a big fan of Blue Moon Belgian White Ale. And while it is a summery brew, I drink it year round. Sometimes you want something light as opposed to the heavy winter brews like porters and stouts.

But I've found a new love in the Blue Moon family called Rising Moon Spring Ale. This is one of Blue Moon's 4 seasonal beers and it incorporates one of my favorite flavors, lime. I'm used to putting a lime in Mexican beers and oranges and lemons in summer brews, but this is even better. The beer, an amber wheat ale, is brewed with kieffer lime leaves and lime peel.

In the last days of winter (hopefully), this beer is a great way to welcome in spring. Grab it while you can.
