Hazy amber with modest head. Fair amount of lacing. Taste is bready, clean, somewhat crisp like a good apple. Slight orange flavor. Would be a good beer for those who don’t appreciate beer much. Very enjoyable for what it is. The balance of flavors and carbonation are very well done.

Pours with thick head settling to a nice layer. Color is cloudy yellow. Feels medium bodied. Taste is barley hopped with mild honey. Pretty tastless acutally. I guess I expected more...

Wasn’t too impressed with this one. The honey flavor didn’t really come through well. It just tasted like a cheaper blue moon.

Cloudy light yellow color small quick dissolve head and lots of small carbonation bubbles. Light honey and a bready wheat smell. No hop aroma, rather a sugary finish. Honey flavor that tastes phoney or artificial and a rather tame wheat experience. Palate is quenching and mild. One of the more forgettable of blue moones seasonal flavor blends.

A milky white/hazy yellow color with a pale and long lasting head. Taste of sweet and fruity. Heavier mouth feel than you would expect.

Spicy, well carbonated beer. This is a refreshing beer with a smooth finish. Good summertime brew!

Holy. This one came out of nowhere and slapped me in the face for a wake up call. Im liking this beer a lot granted partly due to not so high expectations. The nose has this creaminess to it that is hard to pin point. Its like this mild vanilla ice cream aroma. The same creaminess is present in the taste aswell. This beer is refreshingly crisp and it looks the part. EXCELLENT Summer time brew. I love it!

Pours like a summer ale should, but I expected a bit more on the nose. Flavor of a typical summer ale, malty with a strong honey punch that lives up to the name. Spicy, citrusy. However, this beer is crippled by a biting, stinging carbonation. Way too much carbonation in this beer kills mouthfeel and puts the flavor in the backseat.
