Bottle. Pour is a yellow body with a smallish white head. Aromas promise sweet sugars and lemon. Flavor is a mess of honey sweetness and lemon that ends in the drain.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, wheat, and a hint of honey. Flavor is sweet malts, light citrus, wheat, honey and a pinch of orange with a crisp and refreshing finish.

08/11/09 Draft: Poured a light yellow with a white head. The aroma was sweet and wheat. The flavor was smooth with a nice honey aftertaste. This was totally different than the first time I had it. Overall, tasty. 10/10/08 Bottle: Poured a light yellow with a white head. Think there might have been something wrong with this one. I had a lot of sediment in it. The aroma was of wheat and honey. The flavor was rancid with a gross honey after taste. This become a drain pour unfortunately.

Bottle from Quick Trip in McKinney, TX. Pours a hazy bright yellow with white head. Aroma of faint citris. Light favor of wheat, citris, faint honey. Mouthfeel is light with high carbonation. Over all a easy drinking summer beer....Not bad.

not bad, but not the best. What really got me on this beer was the fact that so many different samples tasted so different. Ex. first tasting was at work (Coors) off tap, great with a very notable honey taste. Second was bottle from store soon after, plain almost no honey flavor, more similar in flavor to coors light. I don’t know really i guess if you get a good batch not a bad beer just not great.

The pretty hazy pour with nice head is about the best thing I can say about this brew. I drank the 3.2% Oklahoma version, I’ll try the proper ABV out of state, as I enjoy the original Blue Moon. Sour and tasteless, left me feeling depressed. Sigh.

Pours a light yellow color. Strong swet citrus taste with honey aftertaste. Overall enjoyable a good summertime brew.
