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.

Pours a clear golden with little head. Aroma of wheat, apple and malts. Taste is sweet maltyness. Clean, crisp beer and nothing more.

Can split with Curly and ScottyP at the Impromtu Woody’s Ticker Tasting. Pours a near clear amber with fish-eye clear whitish head. Aroma of apple and caramel. Flavor is interesting due to that kieffer lime leaf. I think this is a better use of the leaf than in the skinny dip. One of the better bluemoon beers that i’ve had; but that still isn’t saying much.

The best way to describe this beer is "fresh", if that makes any sense. Gold color, not much head. Nice aroma. Light with flavors of malt, citrus and wheat. One of the few spring seasonals that actually reminds me of spring.

bottle. pours a light golden yellow with a decent amount of head. has a bit of a wheaty aroma with hints of apple. bitter apple taste with not much on the end. not bad but could be better.
