Piss yellow with a white head. Smells a lot like the heather ales from Williams Bros. Not a pleasant aroma, especially when linked to those awful beers. Tastes kind of like them too. Flavor is malty and honey while being slightly crackery on the finish. Could be refreshing I guess, but I think the regular blue moon is way better.

Reviewed 4/6/2009 (Bottle): Pours a semi cloudy clearish pale yellow color body, with a big white foamy head, diminishing. Very wheaty, malty aroma, some sweetness, a lot of honey. Very effervescent. Light tasting, flowery and some honey. Light sweet soft mouthfeel. Very drinkable. Some orange flavor too, maybe orange zest.

Pours pale gold into a shaker. Bright white head with little retention recedes to skim surface. Stale honey and wheat aromas. Sweet, crisp, honeyed wheat upfront turning to marshmallow and a dry, sour spice finish.

Bottle. Pours like a pale lager. Little to no lasting head. Almost non apparent lacing. Lacking the flavor that the bottle boasts. Have another? No thank you.

Pours a semi-cloudy pale golden with a fairly decent white head. Aroma of sweet malt and mild spiciness. Taste is sweet pale malt, honey and some citrus. After the swallow, the aftertaste is somewhat bitter. Sort of like chewing on an aspirin; only not that unpleasant, but nevertheless distracting. Not a fan of this one.

Slightly hazy golden yellow color with a very thin white head. Faint aroma of honey and wheat. Malty body with a sweet honey flavor that has hints wheat and yeast.

Bottle (12oz). Cloudy pale orange with a large diminishing white frothy head, and HUGE friggin white chunks of shit floating around in it. Light aroma of paper, banana and sugar. Tastes of apple, banana, sugar and pear - not bad, really. Light body, weak carbonation, and a fast finish to the sweet malt. Looks revolting, but not bad, really - hefe-light.

Bottle. Pours with a white, quickly receding head over a gold hazy body. Cinnamon, wheat, and brown sugar aromas. Very nice maple, butter and wheat taste. Very drinkable beer, and smooth.
