Too sweet, the sweetness taste almost candy like. The finish and mouthfeel is good, however the aftertaste is also too sweet or plasticy. The beer does look good however in a frosty mug.

This is the best seasonal offering from Blue Moon in my opinion. This is a truly a delicious beer. Pours a golden amber with a white head. Definite presence of honey on the nose. Here is where i was concerned. most honey beers ive ever tried have been either crazy sweet or there has been no honey presence at all. This beer was very balanced, the flavor of honey was there but the beer was not that sweet for a honey beer. Very smooth and flavorful as well as balanced. Recommended

12oz bottle: Pours to a mostly clear, very slightly hazy marigold-yellow body with small bubbles rising quickly to meeting the small, white, quickly fading head. The aroma is pale malts, mashed corn, wheat, and a hint of orange rind. Taste is roasted corn and wheat up front, with some honey and dry orange rind coming through towards the middle. The taste is somewhat marred for me by the corn/adjunct flavor and that combined with the honey for adds an almost plastic-flavored sweetness that I personally don’t like. Light bodied, Medium-lively carbonation. An encouraging step in the right direction for Coors, but it’d be nice if they actually attempted to brew a real craft beer instead of a mass-market hybrid.

Bottle. I like this beer. It had a definite honey taste but it was not sweet at all. Smelled slightly of honey and even looked like honey when poured into a glass. I recommend this beer.

Wow, pretty good weekend for on-the-beaten-path new beers. Picked this one up at the Circle K. Dry, honey-twangy lagerish aroma - I didn’t particularly enjoy the smell. Mashed banana gold, decent label, head fades quickly but the brew is effervescent and the foam clings in webs on the sides of the glass. Dry, moderately acidic, fruit-pith bitterness, some tart stone fruit - sloes, plums. Medium light body, bready at times, honey only discernable to me in the nose and the aftertaste. On the whole, it did make a play as a crisp and light summer beer.

Blue Moon with a dose of honey. Not much spicy and bite. Pretty yellow haze, 1/2 head, lite lacing. If you need honey in your beer, try this.

Pours a hazy yellow with small white head. Nose of grain and lemon. Flavor is much the same with lemon taking over as the main flavor. Light body with a clean light malty finish.
