not bad, but not the best. What really got me on this beer was the fact that so many different samples tasted so different. Ex. first tasting was at work (Coors) off tap, great with a very notable honey taste. Second was bottle from store soon after, plain almost no honey flavor, more similar in flavor to coors light. I don’t know really i guess if you get a good batch not a bad beer just not great.

The pretty hazy pour with nice head is about the best thing I can say about this brew. I drank the 3.2% Oklahoma version, I’ll try the proper ABV out of state, as I enjoy the original Blue Moon. Sour and tasteless, left me feeling depressed. Sigh.

Pours a light yellow color. Strong swet citrus taste with honey aftertaste. Overall enjoyable a good summertime brew.

Honey and orange citrus taste. It’s a decent summer-time beer. I liked it, but the sweetness was a little much, I would only drink one...it’s not a 6 pack pounder.

12 oz. bottle obtained from a pile of donated beer at a fundraiser. I will admit this kind of scares me. Dated Sept 7. 08. Straw yellow color with a huge head. Very grainy, slightly grassy and very sweet aroma with definite honey notes. Oh my freaking lord when I finish poring the bottle the yeast enters looking like it has the consistency of cottage cheese. That just sent an average appearance rating plummeting. Taste is honey and the faintest wheat notes. Cloyingly sweet. Drain pour.

Bottle. Average beer. Poured a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma of wheat and possibly honey. Flavor is citrus and wheat, with a sweet ending.

It was an average beer. I kind of expected a lot more since I like the blue moon belgium white. But really lacked in taste and really did not leave an after taste which was odd...

Clear gold color with a medium head. Strong corn aroma, light wheat. Maybe some citrus. Sweet corn taste. A bit of lemon and pinch of orange. Slightly dusty.
