Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Golden, Colorado USA

For all intents and purposes, this is basically just your standard american pale lager with a big ol shot of honey at the finish. That being said though, it’s still a hell of a lot better than Blue Moon is.

Yellow color, weak white head. Smells is sweet. Very sweet almost syrup, honey, little hops flavor.

Not a fan of this one. It’s just too sweet for me. Has a pale golden color. Aroma is sweeter, honey is the obvious aroma. Taste is sweet, almost as if there is a honey flavored fruit rollup in the batch. This just isn’t my king of brew.

Weak, yet clean, hay aroma. Clear golden, thin white head. It tastes like candied rose hips and carbonated water. Not very beery and not very good. Gold medal @ GABF? Seriously, this must have been the only entry in the category.

The aroma is its worst quality as it smells skunked. It tastes like a low-end macrobrew. I may have gotten a bad case and will have to re-rate later.

Situation: Working on some poetic lines, however elusive they prove to be... Glassware: Hoegaarden tumbler... Appearance: light copper body with bubbles clinging to every edge in the tumbler; white, fizzy, foamy head thins quickly--definitely filtered... Aroma: bright, sprightly cloveed and citric--nothing subtle here--and the orange zest (whether legit or additive) is alluring... Palate: a fizzy, zesty busy medium-bodied ale--a bit thin at the finish but present enough as the sip begins; set for "refreshing"... Taste: the lemony/orange citric zip refreshes; can this be an ale with zero hop presence? wheat is light, which means the flavor is too--intentional, yes; though the evening is not muggy or hot, it still works as Coors intended, yet this one should best the OG Blue Moon in taste, and I am not sure it does--plus, I’d rather have the real lemon or orange in the glass, not in the bottle... Overall: This finishes with an almost dish detergent lemon drizzle, and isn’t really slammable because it actually is slammable enough...

Poured from a bottle. No Head, No Lacing. Straw Yellow. Decent carbonation. Sweet Nose. Definitely honey sweet flavor. No hops detectable. This is a beer for people who don’t like beer. Almost like a fruit beer with no fruit. Won’t buy it again. It isn’t terrible, I would drink it if offered with no viable alterntive.

Pretty good. Very sweet almost to the point of syrupy. I wouldn’t/couldn’t drink many of these brews on account of the sugary sweetness. Color is rich yellow; the head is mild. Taste is honey and sugar. Finishes smoothly.
