I’m going to admit that i bought another 6 pack of cheap beer in case this one sucked as much the rising moon seasonal that i couldn’t drink and gave to women and fed down my sink. Thankfully, it was at least drinkable. The orange zest is not very prominent (maybe because they don’t want to infringe on their flagship by actually producing a beer with an already orange taste, but pretend its similar, what do i know i’m just a drunk) and the honey leaves a good taste on the palate plus brings the ABV up, which is always an added +. Gonna have to drink again on a hot day at the beach, may be very good then.

Pours a hazy light gold with a fizzy white head that settles quickly. Aromy of citrus and wheat, with some honey sweetness. Flavor is a typical wheat with honey and citrus coming through on the finish. Thin bodied for a wheat, but refreshing.

Pours lightly hazy yellow with a bubbly white head. The aroma has musty wheat, light bananas, moderate sweetness and a trace of citrus. Medium / light body with a lot of carbonation, but not harsh at all. The flavor starts out with sharp wheat, some citrus bite and an overall cleanness. The honey sweetness comes out on the finish and the orange is more pronounced as well as some peppery spice. Not bad for something under the Blue Moon name.

12 oz bottle. Hazy, yellowy gold with a slight white head. nose is slightly sweet wheat and citrus with a hint of honey. A bit of sourness is in there, too. Very light and lively mouthfeel. Slightly sweet flavors of wheat and honey, orange and lemon, some coriander. Meh.

this beer had a nice complete sweet honey taste. it is also infused with a orange and lemony flavor. the beer has a moderate yeasty mouthfeel and it is slightly slick yet not so as to take away from being refreshing. really not aromatic but taste the foamy head and enjoy the strongest hop and malt profile that his beer has to offer. use a large glass and pour down the middle. not bad as the clover in the honey does not contribute to any vegetable tastes that some lament to as SUCKY. a little bitchy in the alcohol. not bad at all.

Pours a bit of a hazy soft orange with a finger of stark white head. Odor has a little bit of spice, but is pretty subdued. Sweet, with a little bit of honey and spice. It’s all right, a decent wheat ale.

12oz bottle. Cloudy golden-orange color. The aroma comes off a little adjuncty, but the flavor is pretty good. A nice fresh wheaty vanilla flavor with ample honey in there as well. Decent enough, an ok session beer.

Golden honey color semi cloudy with a white soapy one finger head. Honey is in the aroma and the flavor. However, the flavor does not really match the aroma. It is also yeasty with dry bitter wheat notes. I love a good wheat but this one is below average.
