Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

On the heels of Stella and didn’t compare quite as well. More metallic, more adjuncty it seems - not a surprise given the brewery and country. Good for summer drinking when you’re at ease and not in the mood to be challenged. I guess I noticed the touch of "honey."

A gentle beer, very drinkable. Honey notes aren’t sticky sweet and the beer isn’t cloying. On the other side of the equation, the beer is mild throughout. Besides some aggressive citrus on the nose, it lacks some of the flavors that ought to pull the honey out of the beer -- caramel, coriander, and lavender. Full and fresh-tasting, though.

Pretty typical for an American wheat, yet for some reason it really hits the spot on a hot day. Thirst quenching? Yep. Maybe my mood made it more enjoyable that it really was, but I liked it.

The body is a clear golden color, small bubbles collecting at the bottom of my glass, and a tight white head sits atop. Aroma is sweet, light grass and honeyish. No noticeable flaws, but it was cold. Flavor is sweet, easy to detect the honey but I didn’t get any orange notes. Weak, but nothing that caused me to wretch while drinking it. Two of these went down pretty easy.

Poured from a bottle. Quickly dissipating head, no lacing. Honey colored, very clear. Weak aroma, wheat and honey. Taste is also weak. Sweet, honey aftertaste. Strongly carbonated. Not a whole lot to this one.

Aroma is reminiscent of Beck’s. Taste is Budweiser infused with honey. I would sip, swash it around, wait, wait, wait for the honey flavor and when it finally came, no sir, I didn’t like it.

For all intents and purposes, this is basically just your standard american pale lager with a big ol shot of honey at the finish. That being said though, it’s still a hell of a lot better than Blue Moon is.

Yellow color, weak white head. Smells is sweet. Very sweet almost syrup, honey, little hops flavor.

Not a fan of this one. It’s just too sweet for me. Has a pale golden color. Aroma is sweeter, honey is the obvious aroma. Taste is sweet, almost as if there is a honey flavored fruit rollup in the batch. This just isn’t my king of brew.
