12 oz bottle-Had this at a party, it wasn’t anything to write home about. Tastes like a watered down Blue Moon w/some honey in it. Does have some wheat flavor to it, but I would drink a regular Blue Moon before I’d drink another one of these.

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.

Not too much different than the original. There is a honey taste to it, however. You can smell and taste the yeast, which is sort of nice.

Bottled, poured into a pint glass with a pale wheat color. I can’t comment on the aroma as my nose is not functioning at the moment. The flavor actually reminds me of a lager. There is also a hint of fruit flavor and a bit of honey. The aftertaste is flat, perhaps I should call it nonexistent? I would rate Honey Moon a 7 or 8 if only judging macro & mega brews...

Aroma is of wheat and honey with corn. A classic summer wheat ale. Flavor reminds me of a honey-infused light beer. Smooth on the palate, bitter aftertaste. Overall not horrible.

Not bad. Sweet...you can really taste the honey flavor. It’s actually a pretty good session beer.

My friends enjoyed this, I did not. Small, fizzy, white head. Body is a sparkling, chill hazed yellow. Aroma of honey, wheat, and wet dog. Taste of sweet water, if I push myself I can find some cinnamon. Dry mouthfeel fizzy carbonation.

Bottle. Small white head that mostly diminished, splotchy amounts of lacing, transparent, visible carbonation, and a yellow hue. Nose was honey, sweet, oranges, and malt. Ditto for the flavor along with a somewhat crisp, refreshing flavor. Tingly mouthfeel and medium in body. Might be okay on a hot, humid summer day, but other than that, it did not leave me wanting this one again. Not a bad beer, just nothing special, rather dull and boring to drink.
