this beer had a nice complete sweet honey taste. it is also infused with a orange and lemony flavor. the beer has a moderate yeasty mouthfeel and it is slightly slick yet not so as to take away from being refreshing. really not aromatic but taste the foamy head and enjoy the strongest hop and malt profile that his beer has to offer. use a large glass and pour down the middle. not bad as the clover in the honey does not contribute to any vegetable tastes that some lament to as SUCKY. a little bitchy in the alcohol. not bad at all.

Pours a bit of a hazy soft orange with a finger of stark white head. Odor has a little bit of spice, but is pretty subdued. Sweet, with a little bit of honey and spice. It’s all right, a decent wheat ale.

12oz bottle. Cloudy golden-orange color. The aroma comes off a little adjuncty, but the flavor is pretty good. A nice fresh wheaty vanilla flavor with ample honey in there as well. Decent enough, an ok session beer.

Golden honey color semi cloudy with a white soapy one finger head. Honey is in the aroma and the flavor. However, the flavor does not really match the aroma. It is also yeasty with dry bitter wheat notes. I love a good wheat but this one is below average.

12 oz bottle-Had this at a party, it wasn’t anything to write home about. Tastes like a watered down Blue Moon w/some honey in it. Does have some wheat flavor to it, but I would drink a regular Blue Moon before I’d drink another one of these.

Bottle poured into pint glass. Poured a small mostly white head with big bubbles that disappeared VERY quickly. Beer is a tiny bit hazy, but not too cloudy. Honey flavor is evident right away. Hops are barely noticeable and at finish I almost get a ciderish flavor. Not bad for a macro brewed beer.

Not too much different than the original. There is a honey taste to it, however. You can smell and taste the yeast, which is sort of nice.

Bottled, poured into a pint glass with a pale wheat color. I can’t comment on the aroma as my nose is not functioning at the moment. The flavor actually reminds me of a lager. There is also a hint of fruit flavor and a bit of honey. The aftertaste is flat, perhaps I should call it nonexistent? I would rate Honey Moon a 7 or 8 if only judging macro & mega brews...
