Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

Brewed by Coors Brewing Company (MillerCoors)
Style: Wheat Ale
Golden, Colorado USA

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, yellow body with a small, white head. Smell: Crushed wheat crackers, light citrus, and a vague honeyish scent. There ya go! Taste: Wheat and honey and a middling sweetness. Background taste of orange. Not much in the way of hop flavor or bitterness, though. Same till the finish, which unfortunately just deposits that cloying honey taste on your tongue. Be sure to have a glass of water handy! Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: The standard-issue Blue Moon is acceptable. This, however, is kind of icky.

Presentation: It was poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass. It has a hazy golden straw color with a big foamy white head that hangs out and leaves nice lace on the glass. The aroma has a touch of sweet wheat malt and honey with a hint of orange peel. Its flavor has a mild wheat presence with as noticeable sweet honey character. Orange citrus and mild hop bitterness add to the crisp refreshing character. Its light to medium bodied with average carbonation and it has a slightly sweet finish. It’s not overly complex but it gives you a refreshing simple quick hit of flavor on a hot summer day.

Pours a hazy pale golden color with nice big white head. Sweet malty aromas with hints of flowery perfume, citrus, and caramel. Light-medium body with good carbonation and satisfying mouthfeel. The taste is definitely that of wheat, with sweet gram cracker overtones and a gentle finish with suggestions of orange zest and faint anise. Great compliment to grilled lemon-peppered fish.

Pours hazy yellow with small white head. aroma is sweet and malty. flavor is a bit to sweet for my taste but not a total waste of money.

On tap at the Hopyard. Tried with AgentSteve. OK Smell. Easy to drink. Leans sweet. Pale yellow.

pours hazy pale yellow with fizzy white head. Aroma is bit of lemon and wheat. Flavor is real light, bit of honey sweetness and tad bit of lemon. Very good summer - just mowed the lawn - beer. Thirst quenching, but not pure water. Overall, pretty decent.

Bottle. Amber pour, smells like a wheat beer, but doesn’t taste like one. I actually like this a session beer, just light enough to drink a few but with some solid taste.

12 oz bottle. So I guess this is what the masses think a craft beer is, sad really. This beer was drinkable but far from good. Super creamy mouthfell full mouthfeel that goes against their claim of "crisp refreshing ale". Aroma and flavor both seemed to be trying to be to complex with the honey and orange peel not meshing but more like a battle royale in a bottle. Ah it’s a rating but I feel like I sold my soul to go up one tick.
