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...

[Bottle] Pours golden with a medium white head. Decent lacing on the glass. Aroma was the weak point of this beer--fairly average but not offensive in any way. Taste was weakly of honey at first followed by wheat. Pretty highly carbonated. Fairly smooth. I was really surprised by this beer. I have had regular blue moon and was not a big fan of it, but this was alright.

On tap at Old Chicago as one of the beers of Summer tour. Orange flavor is somewhat masked by the distinct honey finish.A good wheat

Pours a three finger white head that fades to a thin layer leaving some lace. Clear pale amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Faint honey nose. Flavor is light and smooth, honey comes through but orange peel doesn’t, clean finish. Good summer ale. Label has this brewed by BMBC in Toronto, Ont. $1.50 for a 12oz bottle from Capitol Convenience Concord, NH.

Very good beer. The touch of honey only makes the orange of the original blue moon better. Def. Increases the overall taste.

Pours a light orange color with a white head. Aroma is honey, wheat, and a hint of orange. Flavor is malty, honey, wheaty, a hint of earthyness.

Thanks to maniac for this bottle. Clear yellow, lasting head. Surprisingly big wheat aroma, not bad. Flavor is that of a typical wheat beer with a sweetish finish, presumably from honey that didn’t quite ferment out all the way. Couldn’t find a trace of the orange peel. So-so.
