Pours a pale yellow with a foamy white head. wheat-spice and yeast Honey and light orange peel, some in the aroma. Flavour is sweet wheat. I can get some honey / candy sugar, some banana tones. Slight tartness to the finish keeps it fairly refreshing.

12 oz Bottle from Country Club Liquors; Nose of banana, citrus, and light bubblegum; hazy yellow with a big, pale yellow, glass lacing head and a bunch of small floaties; flavor is sweet and grainy with some banana and citrus; best of the five Blue Moon ales I have had, actually pretty good when it’s 103F outside today and I have just come in from working in the heat.

Light yellow and slightly cloudy in apppearance. Flavor is a bit sweet & a bit floral. Very smooth, no hops detected. Maybe my nose is off but I really can’t detect any aroma either. Overall it’s a nice beer for the summer as the description says. Beyond that there’s really nothing more to it.

Bottle. Hazy golden pour with a tumultuous white head. Almost overflowing my tulip glass. A rocky, sticky head. For such a tall head, it fades rather quickly. Nose is light honey, sweet malts, and soft grains. Taste is honey, sweet malt, light citrus notes and grains. Body is bubbly and light-medium. Lots of belching with this one. Light stickiness. Ends with more honey and sweet malts atop wet cereal and light citrus. Not too bad. Refreshing summer style beer.

Bottle, 12 oz. Pours cloudy straw with a white head. Floral hop aroma with citrus and honey notes. Wheaty flavor, though somewhat watery. Dry finish. I expected more and won’t buy this again.

Bottle poured into pint glass. Poured a small mostly white head with big bubbles that disappeared VERY quickly. Beer is a tiny bit hazy, but not too cloudy. Honey flavor is evident right away. Hops are barely noticeable and at finish I almost get a ciderish flavor. Not bad for a macro brewed beer.

Doesn’t smell so hot, kind of like a hefeweizen with something bad going on. flavor is nice but a weird sweetness lingers. the honey sweetness isn’t bad but there’s something grainy going on that i don’t care for. finishes pretty clean. i like it more than widmer hefeweizen. not bad at all.

Poured golden with a nice head that settled into a light ring. Not much in the nose. Smooth intro with some carbonation in the medium, crisp mouthfeel. Obvious honey and ripe banana in the finish. Some floral notes. Good summer beer. Enjoyable.
