Eclipse: Black&Tan variant

[OC Richard]

Those sound great!

My "local" is an English pub which doesn't have Blue Moon so the Eclipse is out... but they do have Strongbow Cider. I'll try that!

I'm slowly working through the various things they do have, which seem promising for a Black & Tan variant.

Any ideas of which English ale might be closest in flavour to Blue Moon?

Thanks! Richard

At one of the Flying Saucer pubs (Houston, I think) I had a Black Czech, which is Guinness over Pilsner Urquell. Very tasty.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_and_Tan for many more variations.

I'll have to give this one a try. My last name Cernoch translates to 'black man' so a Black Czech works well.

Richard,
As you said in your first post, Blue moon is a belgian wheat beer. No english ale will taste like it. Try to find another wheat beer if you want to stay in the same taste family.
