Pours from 12 oz bottle hazy amber with a moderate frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Light sweet citrus aroma. Light body with soft carbonation. The taste is light and somewhat smooth. Starting with a light body that is given a smooth mouth feel by the thick tight head, it goes down with a light yet crisp feel that comes off almost refreshing. Finish comes out of with a mild malt taste that is backed by a very light bitterness, then it ends clean with a very faint citrus taste. Heh, a bit of a surprise from Blue Moon.

12 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with foamy, off-white head. Looks enticing. Not much nose, smells of wheat and slight banana, maybe some slight citric notes. Taste is an unfortunate amount of lime-esque notes accenting a wheat malt body with a slightly crisp ending. No hops, no real taste other than the lime. Odd metallic aftertaste. Could be the age. A big "eh" from me.

12oz bottle from BevMo! Pours a clear bronze color with a fizzy white head. Not really a wheat ale. Had some citrus notes and some maltyness to the aroma. Kind of a dry taste. Hint of lime. Bitter finish.

Tasting this, i thought it resembled closer to a lightly hopped american pale ale. Pours orangeish with a small head, aromas are somewhat citrusy and of subtle hops. mouthfeel is full and creamy, little fruit on the finish. otherwise decent beer.

Its OK, the aroma its practically non-existent,the body its like a brown ale, with soap-bubbles-like head,the flavor has some sour lime present quite not good,altough its very subtle doesnt fit well in the recipe,the palate, its a bit acid but from that quite forgettable.Overall its nothing outside of this world.

Overall I wasn’t super impressed. It wasn’t horrible I wouldn’t pour it out. I just expected more out of a spring ale. light color, the flavor is there but it lacks the finish.
