Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

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

A good crisp summer ale. Pours a hazy yellow. Crisp. Definitely some notes of orange and clover.

12oz bottle served in a shaker. Lightly hazed golden pour with a thin head of off-white foam that quickly disappeared. Minimal, spotty lace. The aroma had wheat, sweet honey, and light citrus. Slightly metallic. The flavor was much the same. Lightly toasted wheat with some more pronounced honey. Sweet but drinkable. Light-bodied. Moderate, crisp carbonation. A mediocre American wheat masked by honey sweetness.

[bottle] Weak aroma of orange and very light malt. Clear orange-gold with only some white wisps and ring on top. Very gentle malt flavour that is a touch spicy and with a cinnamon note. Not offensive but very weak and boring. Well balanced in its gentleness. Light body, crisp fruity finish, medium carbonation.

Overall not bad but a lacked in depth and flavor in my opinion. Little aroma and substance however a nice light snack for the summer time...but not much more.

A pretty average beer across the board. Yellow pour with a minimal white head. Aroma of honey and some citrus. Taste is a little honey and a little wheat, not enough for me, who likes wheat beers.

I like honey beers... I like Blue Moon... but something about this didn’t sit right. Nothing special.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008 Floral aroma. Clear golden coloured smooth on the palate fruity and hoppy with a little dryness in a crisp and creamy finish.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is light and slightly sweet with some dry hops and wheat. Flavor is sweet with some hints of honey at the beginning that gives way to a very light wheat middle and a sweet and grainy finish. Couldn’t taste any orange peel like it claimed.
