This is a good gateway beer to get women that don’t drink beer to try as it is Fruity and yes it does taste like fruity pebbles and on a hot day this gives you a buzz and tastes refreshing.

Pours a cloudy peach color with a white head. Strong orange and coriander aroma and flavor, alot of fruit presence. Light and refreshing, very good easy drinking beer.

My friends always made fun of me when I said it tasted like Fruity Pebbles. Pours golden with very little head. Refreshing, but not exhilarating.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy gold/orange color with a decently sized white head. The smell was extremely fruity with citrus hints. Tasted VERY fruity... almost too fruity for a beer. My buddy was kidding me about it tasting like Fruity Pebbles... I wouldn’t have noticed it unless he pointed it out. A decent beer that would go well on a summer day. Definitely not something that I would drink regularly though...

Taste exactly like Fruity Pebbles cereal... seriously! It’s been years since I had this horrible cereal but my first sip of this beer made me remember like it was yesterday. This makes me think of what kind of beer TGIFriday’s would make if they made a ’wheat beer’.

Pours out a cloudy golden/ light orange color with a moderate white head. Aroma is of some fruit, citrus and that typical wheat aroma. Taste is refreshing, citrus with some blueberry and other fruity notes. Slight spice here and there. Not a fan of wheats, but this isn’t bad

i really enjoyed this beer, it was really refreshing, def. had that blue moon taste i agree, but more explosive. I picked up a 6 pack of this after moving furniture for about 6 hours...talk about a refrshing beer. I would suggest this to anyone, it is a great after work type beer.

Very much enjoyed this beer. Blue Moon tastes like a watered down version of this Leinenkugel’s Sunset Wheat. You almost don’t need the Orange to get the explosion of Citrus and Coriander. Best description I heard? Fruity Pebbles. OR Blueberries...but I called the brewery, NO BLUEBERRIES!
