Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Golden, Colorado USA

Well, first thing I noticed was that when I poured there were a ton of floaties in the beer, probably some yeast or sediment from mishandling somewhere along the way. Once I got past that, the pour was a nice gold to yellow color with a solid head. The aroma was fruity. The flavor was also fruity with a dominant citrus profile. There was little or no hop character to the beer and there was a prominent wheat character. Overall, an unexciting beer, nothing wrong with it except for the bad bottle that I got.

Slight aroma that I can’t really place with a rich gold color. Not as sweet as I would have liked, the honey gets lost. Leaves sort of a sour aftertaste. I really dig the bottles though!!!

has an upfront sweetness and sour finish that lasts and lasts. Not an appealing brew.

Poured a cloudy golden color with a thin white head that actually left a little bit of lacing. Sweet aroma with hints of honey. Slight malty flavor with a sweet sourness to it. That sweetness with a slight sour tang hangs around.

12 oz bottle found remaining from my girlfriend’s brother’s trip home. Pours a yellowish hue, clouded slightly with a small unremarkable head. Aromas are muted, slightly sweet but not much else. Taste is similiar, I can’t really put my finger on the orange peel and the honey sweetness is rather muted, leaving me with a rather unremarkable wheat ale. A little bitter in the finish, with a few sweet notes (I’d assume from the honey) mixed into the initial and body. Other than that, malts that are forgettable and no real character. I remember this being sweeter in its initial release. Pretty bad.

bottle. light in color, pours a head that settles a bit. Smells of honey and adjunct (it is a wheat beer). Light body. Tastes of honey. Has a hop backbone. Reminds me of my first braggot experiment. Slightly warming. Not as much alcohol taste as I expected. Slightly sticky aftertaste.

Bottles bought at a local grocery store. The odd thing was three of the six beers were only half filled, we realized that some asshole must have drank some of each bottle and put back on the cap. Needless to say we were too lazy to return them, but I had better beer anyway. Pours a clear yellow with a medium white head. The aroma and taste was full of sweet honey, wheat, and a light spicy addition. Not too bad, except for the three which were compromised.

From a bottle. Poured cloudy yellow. Nose of wheat and citrus. Medium mouthfeel. Flavor of yeast and orange. Served very cold this is somewhat refreshing.
