Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

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

The appearance is a very light amber, fairly clear. The aroma is very strong, and pretty much wheaty. The flavor hits you right away; while this isn’t the most wheat-like beer out there, there’s definitely no mistaking it. Also, unlike many beers that play up the honey in them, this time it’s actually possible to taste the honey (although it isn’t cloying). This may also be what helps make this beer pretty smooth. Definitely a good American-style wheat beer (also, IMO this may be a good beer for someone just learning to like beer);

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.
