12oz bottle. Pours a light amber with a foamy white head. Has a muted hop and citrus aroma. Taste is sweet bready malts, spice, citrus and very light hops. Very mild and mediocre.

I enjoy this beer on a warm day grilling out. This beer pours orange/amber color with a decent head. The aroma is citrus smelling with lime being the dominant smell. I really enjoy wheat beers and think Blue Moon has done very well with this product. A very drinkable beer!"

Nice lime taste. I’m beginning to think that I don’t like wheat beer that much.

12oz bottle: another lingering refrigerator remnant courtesy of my mother-in-law. Thanks! Pours a clear, bright orange-amber color; thin, off-white head with decent lacing. Very strange aroma of lime hard candies (not jolly ranchers exactly, but syrupy candy sugar) and cloying sweetness; "freshness of spring" my ass. Medium mouthfeel, strongly following the nose: lime candies, sticky sweetness, and a one-dimensional basic cereal note below all this; medium carbonation gives it a reasonable presence in the mouth, at least; overall, overtly fake and too much lime. Medium finish: light hoppiness, light lime, and a touch of cereal sweetness; actually tastes like beer at the end.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. An alright beer that is far from anything special. Somewhat light and fruity; goes down easy.

Overall Impression: I’m not a huge fan of this one, you see it everywhere during the spring (because it’s made by Coors) but it’s just not very exciting. Kinda weak, and uninteresting.

Amber pour from a 12oz bottle. Nice, persistent head. Aroma of malt with a hint of fruit. Flavor is pleasant - malty, mild, sort of like a lite bock if youcan wrap yer head around that concept. Sweet flavor, after reading about the lime leaves I can imagine that I taste them in there, but really...

A nice enough brew that is more or less like a macro brew with a little extra, but still lacking in zest and distinctiveness. If the only thing in the gas station cooler is this or a macro pale lager - get this. And then go to a better store and get a real beer.

Found this one in the back of my fridge. Spring? Not so much. Pours light amber, aroma is slightly metallic but with strong citrus notes, sugars, definitely malts. Taste is sweet, don’t think I could have more than one of these... malts are all over the mouth. Not the best seasonal out there.
