Decent, a clear, golden ale with a little sweetness, but unfortunately also some off-flavors. Not a huge fan of Blue Moon products and this doesn’t really do anything to change that.

A decent beer. A light yellow color with a slightly sweet aroma and tart, honey flavor. Refreshing, but not very complex.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is pretty light of citrus, wheat, honey, and sweet malts. Really not much to the flavor as well. Citrus, a little honey, spices, and sweet malts. Not good.

Bottled. Beer is slightly cloudy, light, bright gold with a small, white, frothy, mostly and rapidly diminishing head.<P>The aroma is dominated by sugary honey. Malty with light notes of toasted grain, spice cookie, trace/lightly husky; Hoppy with a light grassy note laced with lemon; Yeasty with a light note of dough; Light miscellaneous note of hair spray (polymer and alcohol mixed).<P>The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter with a long, lightly sweet, trace bitter finish. Lots of orange-honey candy in the retros.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>A bit sugary and dirty, but not horrible.

Bottle. Head is initially average sized, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (grain, husks), lightly yeasty (dough), with notes of plastic, Bit-o-Honey candy, metal shavings, and random chemicals. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Unclean in both aroma and flavor. Gold at GABF last year, eh? No comment.

Gold color with small white head. Aroma and flavor were light but still okay. Honey was nice addition to citric flavors.

12 oz bottle. Poured a clear golden color. Head was fluffy, white, and left some lace behind. Light fruity aroma, maybe apricot, with some subdued cereal grain in the background. As it warmed a whiff of honey and cinnamon came out. Sweet on the tongue. Tasted of cinnamon roll, vanilla frosting, and yeasty bread dough. Strange beer with a bit too much going on.
