12 oz bottle. I usually think this is the best summer beer on the market. I’m usually impressed by the honey flavor. I can barely detect any this year, however. It seems as Blue Moon grows in popularity, their beers get more bland. It’s like Coors is sacrificing quality in order to pump out more product. I’ve thought the same thing about their fall pumpkin ale for years. Years ago, that beer had a strong pumpkin pie flavor. Now I can barely detect any. And so it is with Honey Moon now. It has just a hint of honey now. Pours almost no head; pale hazy golden hue. Tastes like an inoffensive, bland wheat ale.

Pours a pale gold color with thin white head. Aroma is of sweet honey, light spice and orange. Taste is honey sweet, sweet malt, jolly rancher candy and light wheat. This beer is kind of cloying and just a sweet mess. blech.

Liked it better than Blue Moon, but not as much as Full Moon. Nice honey flavor.

12-oz. Pours a crystal clear pale gold with a light gray froth scattered on top. Very mild sweet nose, smells like honey flavoring a little bit, maybe a hint of orange. Hard to tell, though. Could even be the power of suggestion. Very faint, in any case, and not so natural smelling. Creamy medium body, a little fizzy carb but not much. Some cloying, artificial-tasting sweetness on the mid-palate, honey, toast, and oranges. Not much finish. Not much start or middle, either, really.

I liked it, as a mainstream-variety beer. Almost went down too easily, there’s not much to enjoy and I think the honey helps. Misprinting on some labels detracted from appearance.

Pours thin and yellow with a thin head. Aroma is decent with honey and some malt. Taste is thin, but clean with some orange and honey.

not bad, though there are definitely better wheat beers out there with better flavor profiles. still, if it was low on funds or the store had a really weak selection, this would do in a pinch.
