Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

Bottle. I really enjoyed this one. Not much of a wheat beer, but I liked the honey and orange flavor. A bit sweet, butao good summer thirst quencher.

good beer for summer nice refresher tastes good ice cold sittin on the porch

I am pretty picky about the beer I drink. I don’t like a really dark, ’gritty’ kind of beer. This is probably why I like this beer so much. It’s light in appearance, and smooth to the palate, but not bland at all. I’ve tried it both freezing cold, and room temperature, and it’s great both ways, however, being an American, I tend to prefer it very cold. Definitely one of my favorite beers of all time.

Tap and Bottle. A lighter blonde ale with hints of honey. The taste is similar to a typical wheat ale with a touch of honey, not overpowering the aroma is light but sweet.

Tap. clear, light yellow color. champagne like bubbles floating up to the thin white head. Aroma of a typical, basic, American, Light Lager. Pale malt aroma. Flavor is not anything like the aroma. Malts are present, although there is a feeling of honey flavoring. To my surprise it is kinda nice. The flavors of "store brand", SUE BEE honey comes to mind, even the flavor of a honey cough drop. You may have to look for it... I found it! Palate is smooth and very nice light bodied. A surprisingly nice find from a BM"C".

bottle-Poured golden with a white head. Aroma was pretty weak. Taste is initially wheaty then yields to a sweet finish from the honey which is quite nice. I was definitely surprised by this beer, and it surpassed my low expectations.

12 oz bottle; July 22nd, 2007. Fizzy yet thick topping of head paired with a straw blonde color. Aroma is weak with artifical scents of honey, grain and lemon. The flavor is funky and real hard for me to wrap my head around it because its trying so hard to be a classic summer ale but it just comes off as Coors with some extra artifical flavoring. Not worth ever trying again and i usually give beers a second chance from the tap if i didnt like it from the bottle.

Bottle and served in my small Ayinger glass: Pours a clean golden hue with a fading fizzy head and no lace. The aroma has notes of honey, orange zest, perfumed and floral aromatics, and a hint of biscuit. The taste is rather generic which some honey sweetness over a bland bready malt background. Almost no citric twang which would have helped a lot. The mouth feel is equally bland, hardly refreshing nor crisp as advertised. Maybe is not cold enough, haha! Next please...
