(Bottle, Canada Brewed) I normally doesn’t like sweeter beers, but this one is free of objectionable qualities. Like all the blue moon variants, it is very similar to blue moon itself. Less of the spicy quality, also less of the sourness, which I like. A little sweeter but without being too heavy. Better than I was expecting; I don’t like the "honey wheat" beers usually but this was not bad.

Pours a slightly hazy gold color with medium white head. The aroma is of a sweet citrus nature. There is a bit too much honey for my taste, but at least it is somewhat offset by the orange zing. Too soft a texture for my palate. Not bad, but not great, either. I guess it could be OK on a hot summer day, but I’d look for something else first.

Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale ia a clear, honey amber color with an initially fluffy, but quickly disappearing white head. The aroma is of orange and corriander like the original Blue Moon, but less powerful. The taste is of orange and corriander like the original Blue Moon, but the finish is a bit heavier. I attribute the heavier finish to the honey.

Chick/lawn beer alert. Drinking straight out of the bottle, so can’t comment on the appearance. Aroma really isn’t too great, unless it’s because all I can smell is the bottle. Very light honey taste. Hint of orange/peel. Not much else to it. Eh... still, though, no bad tastes. More than I can say for alot of other beers. A great great beer to cool off with.

Bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma has a light honey sweetness and a note of lemon. Light, crisp body. Flavor lightly touches on honey and caramel and has citrus fruit notes. Actually pretty good, much better than I expected at least.

A sweet, white ale gussied up with some honey and orange peel. But the honey is a bit too pronounced for me,

Slightly hazt pale yellow. Modest short lived head. Aroma is light honey , corn and hint of citrus. Taste is similar. It’s "ok" to down a couple on a hot. Nothing special.
