Poured from a 12 oz bottle. Pour is a clear golden with minimal head. Nose is primarily malty wheat and honey with some lemon. Taste is lightly sweet, with again honey and citrus. Prickly carbonation. Short, slightly astringent finish. Fairly simple but tasty and refreshing.

A- C Yellow gold with a slight haze to it, but mostly clear. Bubbles rising to the top with a nice 2 inch head. A Good amount of lacing Aroma- A wheat base with a hint or citrus and honey. F/P - A sweet honey taste almost like a very light mead. Carbonation makes for a nice mouth feel. O- Very drinkable on a hot day, can easily put 2 or 3 of these away. It is nice and refreshing. Serving type: bottle

Bottle. Pours a nice clear gold. Aroma is sweet... wheat, honey, and malt. Taste is very sweet, almost too much. I was hoping it tasted more like Blue Moon, but I was disappointed. I will say it is quite refreshing though.

my favorite Blue Moon seasonal. Clear aroma with honey overtones. Honey taste is good but not overpowering. Want a little more body, but the presentation is good. I think this beer is underrated here. Also, for what its worth, I really like the bottle shape.

Pours clear light gold with a one finger white head. The nose is sweet wheat and faint citrus. The taste is wheat and light honey. Lighter mouthfeel. Meh, boring.

Nice average wheat or summer ale. Smells a bit skunky, but overall smooth.

12oz bottle. Pours a bright yellow color with a big white foamy head. Sniffing the bottle smells like sweet honey. Sniffing the glass smells like straw and dirt. Palate is thin and a bit stingy with a dirty feel. Light straw and grass notes. Flavors of light sweetness but mostly stale, dirty malt notes and some cardboard.

Still not sure how I’m feeling about this one. At this point, this tastes like if bees started a brewery. I like honey lagers a lot, but I’m not sure if I like honey with an ale. Definitely drinkable. Maybe its not hot enough outside yet.
