Pours like a hazy bud light... Aroma is honeyed wheat malt, imagine that. I do find that it is a bit better than standard issue blue moon, only because it is a little less boring. Nice honey notes in this one, but still at the base it tastes like skunky macrobrew. Not something I would get regularly, this one was given to me.

Bottle. Pours a hazzy, cloudy yellow, with an thin, rapidly fading head. There is a slight honey/citrusy note to the aroma, with the standard bready wheat note. The flavor is slightly sweet, slightly citrusy. It has a thin body that one becomes accustomed too with Blue Moon products. The finish is a little tangy.

Pour a light yellow, slightly cloudy, with a slight honey and orange aroma. A little sweet, a little bready, and a slight spicy orange kick. Possibly a little watery. I can understand that a light, slightly sweet beer may not have a lot of fans on this site, but I found it to be a decent summer thirst quenching beer. Would go well with spicy foods.

Pours a muddy yellow, but with a thick sustained head. Floaties are in there too. Smelled of honey, but also maybe a bit sour. Not sure if I detected hops or not in this one. Slight honey flavor, but less so than aroma. My least favorite of all the Blue Moon’s.

I’m not a fan of Blue Moon, but did want to try this beer. It has a ’thicker -creamier’ kinda mouthfeel, finishes on the sweet side. I will not look for this one again.

Not very good. No where near as good as blue moon. Too light bodied and thin. Fruity. Not much of anything in this beer. Some honey sweetness.

Light yellow color, off white head. Light honey nose. Thin mouthfeel. More of a pale ale than a wheat beer. Despite lots of honey and a slight citrus kick, this is just not very good. I always find Blue Moon to be underrated by ratebeer but Coors can’t make a good seasonal Moon beer to save their life.

Draft. Yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma just like the flavor, yeast, orange peels,and light lemon notes.
