Very lightly foggy gold, thin white head. Aroma is a light citrus, wheat, malty, light honey. Taste is wheat, lighly malty, orange peel, light lemon. Good lawnmower beer.

Bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. Aroma has a light honey sweetness and a note of lemon. Light, crisp body. Flavor lightly touches on honey and caramel and has citrus fruit notes. Actually pretty good, much better than I expected at least.

A sweet, white ale gussied up with some honey and orange peel. But the honey is a bit too pronounced for me,

Slightly hazt pale yellow. Modest short lived head. Aroma is light honey , corn and hint of citrus. Taste is similar. It’s "ok" to down a couple on a hot. Nothing special.

Fluffy topper and cloudy appearance. Some honey and citrus in the aroma. The taste is similar to some East European beers and pilsners, but with wheat, honey, corn, and a little orange. They seem to have added some more hops since the first time I rated it, which increased the robustness and flavor of the beer. A nice, breezy brew.

Magnificent!!! Pretty sweet for a summer ale, and with noticeable hints of orange peel and maybe some honey (faint). There’s an odd wheaty characteristic to this brew, unlike anything I’ve had in years, but it’s refreshing! Almost zesty. I’d wager this brew is EVEN better than the regular Blue Moon, which is saying something! Utterly terrific summer lawnmower beer.

12oz bottle poured into a weizen glass. This is the best blue moon beer I’ve had yet. It has a nice balance of honey and lemon. It’s not something you’d want to drink out of pitches and get drunk but it’s a nice flavorfull beer. It pours yellow with a nice large head that settles quickly. The body is cloying with honey in the after taste.

cloudy yellow color. just like blue moon but with less of the typical wheat ale taste and a light honey in its place. not much on complexity but a drinkable beer none the less.
