Pours a three finger white head that fades to a thin layer leaving some lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Faint honey nose. Flavor is light and smooth, honey comes through but orange peel doesn’t, clean finish. Good summer ale. Label has this brewed by BMBC in Toronto, Ont. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

Very good beer. The touch of honey only makes the orange of the original blue moon better. Def. Increases the overall taste.

Pours a light orange color with a white head. Aroma is honey, wheat, and a hint of orange. Flavor is malty, honey, wheaty, a hint of earthyness.

Thanks to maniac for this bottle. Clear yellow, lasting head. Surprisingly big wheat aroma, not bad. Flavor is that of a typical wheat beer with a sweetish finish, presumably from honey that didn’t quite ferment out all the way. Couldn’t find a trace of the orange peel. So-so.

not bad but its got a weird taste to it. the only part thats good is the honey finish that it gives. i drank it once or twice this summer but i probably wouldnt spent to much more time on it.

Decent sized frothy bright white head. Light wheat and citrus aroma. I guess a little bit of grass and honey notes. Color is a bright gold. Light crisp and refreshing. Some lavendar and and floral notes. The honey is more prominent in the flavor. Sweet yet a little dry. Finishes floral and sweet. I actually like this one quite a bit. Reminds me of Lurgashall Tower of London Mead with the lavendar flavors. Quite good.

Medium yellow/wheat tone with little to no head. Mild nose, maybe a tiny hint of sweet. Pretty flat and boring with little palate yet drinkable. Yes, this is exactly what I said about Leinie’s Honey Wheat; very similar.
