It smells clean, fresh, sweet & fruity, golden yellow in appearance, bubbly with good head very smooth and refreshing. A nice light beer with a great after taste.

My favorite Blue Moon product. Pours a hazy gold, with a decent head. Smells of citrus and also the citrus taste is felt very prominently, mainly at the back of the mouth. This is a very good summer ale, close to one of my favorites.

A very good summer beer. Very light and refreshing. I think this is one of the better Blue Moon beers. Pours a golden color with a one finger head. Aroma is lemon, honey, and some citrus. Flavor is honey and malts. Very good to have on a hot summer day.

A pale golden apperarance with a white head. The aroma is rather dull with some honey and hints of citrus showing through. The beer contains a lot of synthetic honey flavor. It kind of tastes like Honey Combs cereal. Childhood flashbacks! I’m also picking up some oranges and vanilla. Overall this is more weird than bad but at least it beats Michelob Honey Lager. Its a honey of an O- Its Blue Moon Honey Moon!

Bottle. Near clear golden straw pour with quick fading white head and huge chunky particulate. Wheaty sweet aroma has some notes of banana. Flavor notes are similar but with some vanilla and light hop bittering. Astringent, crisp and cloying finish. Some aluminum foil metal on the tail end too. Won’t waste my time with this again...

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a spare, fizzy, white head, diminishing with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (bread, straw, cereal), average hops (flowers, citrus), average yeast (dough, earth) with notes of bubble gum, apple, pear, and honey. Light bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a metallic finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
