This beer falls flat on the senses as far as wheat beers go. Did not provide that hearty yet smooth wheat beer taste that I would have expected as aminimum

On tap at the Hopyard, I was surprised how smooth this was. The honey was the most prominent influence in the nose and the flavor. This is obviously a low rated beer, but I admit I would drink it again.

Pours like a hazy bud light... Aroma is honeyed wheat malt, imagine that. I do find that it is a bit better than standard issue blue moon, only because it is a little less boring. Nice honey notes in this one, but still at the base it tastes like skunky macrobrew. Not something I would get regularly, this one was given to me.

Bottle. Pours a hazzy, cloudy yellow, with an thin, rapidly fading head. There is a slight honey/citrusy note to the aroma, with the standard bready wheat note. The flavor is slightly sweet, slightly citrusy. It has a thin body that one becomes accustomed too with Blue Moon products. The finish is a little tangy.

Pour a light yellow, slightly cloudy, with a slight honey and orange aroma. A little sweet, a little bready, and a slight spicy orange kick. Possibly a little watery. I can understand that a light, slightly sweet beer may not have a lot of fans on this site, but I found it to be a decent summer thirst quenching beer. Would go well with spicy foods.

Pours a muddy yellow, but with a thick sustained head. Floaties are in there too. Smelled of honey, but also maybe a bit sour. Not sure if I detected hops or not in this one. Slight honey flavor, but less so than aroma. My least favorite of all the Blue Moon’s.

I’m not a fan of Blue Moon, but did want to try this beer. It has a ’thicker -creamier’ kinda mouthfeel, finishes on the sweet side. I will not look for this one again.
