davidCC (130), New York, USA Jun 7, 2008 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 kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Jun 7, 2008 Updated: Nov 7, 2009

AgentSteve (1334), SF Bay Area, California, USA Jun 4, 2008 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. dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Jun 4, 2008 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. NJBeerman013 (769), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Jun 3, 2008 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. RunDWP (203), San Jose, California, USA Jun 2, 2008 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. jmw141 (134), Canton, Illinois, USA May 31, 2008 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. bigrond (1043), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA May 31, 2008 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.
