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.

2009 Bottle - Pours strong yellow with a small white head...aroma is faint, malty wheat...flavour is a little too sweet, high sugar, high carbonation, residual graininess and cirtus, but hard to get past all that sugar...not unpleasant, but not really beer...

12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy yellow with a one inch foamy, white head. Nose is musty lemon, some wheat, and a touch of honey. Medium carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a touch of dryness. Lemon, grain, fruity yeast, a touch of honey, and a light wheat note on the palate. Short, clean finish. As I got to the end of the beer, the lemon started to taste a bit artificial.

Straw yellow with a little bit of white head, a bit cloudy with some sediment resting at the bottom. Citrus and honey malts. Delicious, the sweetness wasn’t overbearing, but was certainly present. Underlying hints of citrus and hops. This was crisp and refreshing, a wonderful beer. The more I drink of these the more I like them. I’m glad I didn’t comment on my first beer, because though I liked it I didn’t care for it as much. I’ve dabbed at the sixer of these I bought, and the last couple I had were fantastic. I think the additional 2 weeks it had to age may have matured it a bit, but maybe I was just more into it or something, I don’t know. Either way, this is one of my favorites from Blue Moon. Hate Blue Moon, but I love their seasonals.

Taste like a cheap generic beer with the addition of bit of banana flavor. What this creates in the end is one of the most displeasing beers of all time. AVOID!

Bottle Pours a clear gold with a white head. The head leaves quickly and produces almost no lacing. Aroma is of wheat and a touch of honey. Carbination is okay and the mouthfeel is beer but not much else. The flavor is lacking at best. This tastes like a macro pale lager. It is like a souped up Coors. No depth what so ever. The finish isn’t there. It is drinkable but nothing special.

~Pours a semi cloudy gold with foamy white head. ~Citrusy aroma with some honey and wheat. ~Wheaty flavor with generous amount of citrus, slight honey. ~Medium feel, soft with carbonation. Abrupt bitter finish. ~Good summer brew. Soft and enjoyable. The best of the Blue Moon seasonals.

Bottle in Spokane. Controlled head. Light maintained carbonation. Clear gold drink. Light clean clover honey scent. Flavour is not overpowering honey or sweet. Still cannot ignore the honey like a glove on the beer. The wheat is lost or severly muted. The orange peel is only noticed when looked for.
