Aroma is not overly flattering but not terrible. Some citrus and honey notes, but they don’t meld too well. Color is pale lemonade yellow. The start is all malty and fruity. Some citrus zestiness and honey come through in the finish. Fairly refreshing and light bodied. I could see sipping on these on a hot day, but this isn’t a beer I’d break open for a special occasion.

Not too bad for a Blue Moon beer. Aroma was very weak. Could pick up some grain but very faint. Pour was a nice semi hazy gold with a one finger white head that left quickly. Taste was ok. Nice wheat beer taste with grains and and a sugary aftertaste. In hot weather outside would be the only time I would drink this.

Not too much here... aroma is pretty boring, slight citrus hint. Flavor is honey, orange, and a little spice, too. Nothing special. 12 oz. bottle.

12oz bottle; The alcohol percentage makes up for the sweetness of this beer. Pours a hazy light amber with a medium initial head that dissolves slowly. Honey and orange create a somewhat sour citrus finish.

Bottle. Pours a pale golden color with a medium frothy white head. The aroma is Bread and yeast with clove. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is a sweet honey and banana. A decent wheat ale.

Bottle. Grainy aroma seems oversweet with a pinch of honey. Pale yellow-golden pour with a white, creamy head. Taste is too sweet, smacks with bubblegum and light grain, honey and orange peel. A little harsh, surprisingly. Touch of spice and a chlaky coating. Light-medium body and smooth after the initial fizz. Pleasantly warming and zesty. Candy.

Started with a 2.7, but man, it starts to taste a bit foul after a point, sort of...unclean.
