This won a GABF medal?!? Coors does a good job of trying to make different beers which they can market to everyone, but I cannot drink this. I choked down half a bottle but couldn’t stand any more. It’s so thin, it’s like drinking water.

Great summer beer. Golden appearance tastes like sweet honey. Reminds me of a bad breakfast cereal with all the fake honey taste.

(Bottle) Pours a yellow color with a small white head. Light sweet corn aroma and a little bit of wheat. Taste is sweet, with distinct honey notes. Crisp and mild, but lacking a lot of flavor and depth that would make this beer better.

Standard macro golden lager appearance, low grainy aroma, on the sweet side. Sweet bland pale malt palate. To me there was nothing wheaty about this beer-- it came across as a sweeter-than-average lager. Pass.

Pale gold, with aroma of pale malt, some orange zest, mild hops, and some spice. Light palate heft, with a decent mix of pale malt, mild honey, citrus, and hops.

Draught @ TGIF in Colorado Springs: Pale golden, small white head, spotty lacing, strong carbonation.   Pale wheat malt nose, hints of honey.   Not getting much orange peel or citrus.   Oh my, loads of honey on the tongue.   Everything takes a back seat to the honey.   Unfortunately while the honey tastes somewhat real, it just seems too artificial and unbalanced.   Just too much.   Too sweet for a wheat ale.   The wheat aspect is very minor.   Average body and mouthfeel.   Sweet honeyish finish.   Less honey and more wheaty aspect please!

A much smaller head and less milky than origninal. Not a bad beer but as far as Summer beers go I prefer the original with an orange.

2007 bottle...Cloudy orange body with creamy fluffy, off-white head....smells like an ordinary brew , an ordinary blue moon....orange zest and a smidge of honey...pretty plain, but very refreshing...honey finish, very delicate....creamy and bubbly in the mouth....easy going, quite palatable...cool on the throat....reminds me for a second of dogfish head Chateau Jiahu, a second mind you
