Decent sized frothy bright white head. Light wheat and citrus aroma. I guess a little bit of grass and honey notes. Color is a bright gold. Light crisp and refreshing. Some lavendar and and floral notes. The honey is more prominent in the flavor. Sweet yet a little dry. Finishes floral and sweet. I actually like this one quite a bit. Reminds me of Lurgashall Tower of London Mead with the lavendar flavors. Quite good.

Medium yellow/wheat tone with little to no head. Mild nose, maybe a tiny hint of sweet. Pretty flat and boring with little palate yet drinkable. Yes, this is exactly what I said about Leinie’s Honey Wheat; very similar.

Decent, a clear, golden ale with a little sweetness, but unfortunately also some off-flavors. Not a huge fan of Blue Moon products and this doesn’t really do anything to change that.

A decent beer. A light yellow color with a slightly sweet aroma and tart, honey flavor. Refreshing, but not very complex.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is pretty light of citrus, wheat, honey, and sweet malts. Really not much to the flavor as well. Citrus, a little honey, spices, and sweet malts. Not good.

Bottled. Beer is slightly cloudy, light, bright gold with a small, white, frothy, mostly and rapidly diminishing head.<P>The aroma is dominated by sugary honey. Malty with light notes of toasted grain, spice cookie, trace/lightly husky; Hoppy with a light grassy note laced with lemon; Yeasty with a light note of dough; Light miscellaneous note of hair spray (polymer and alcohol mixed).<P>The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter with a long, lightly sweet, trace bitter finish. Lots of orange-honey candy in the retros.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>A bit sugary and dirty, but not horrible.
