Drank a 6 pack while sitting on an island in the middle of Bass Lake. I liked this better than the regular Blue Moon offereing. Aroma was wheaty with some citrus and honey and spicy notes. This beer in a cup looked like urine. The urine that you get after taking a multi vitamin. The flavor was mostly straight wheat with some nice citrus notes on the finish. There were also some noticable sweet honey notes, but nothing over the top. It is not heavy. It is very refreshing in 100 degree heat. For an American Wheat, it is about 100 times better than Pyramid or Widmer. Fuckers. Go Coors!

Bottle split with NachlamSie. Pours hazy gold with a white head. The stink is gross right away, but I get acclimated to it quickly. I find some bread and honey that saves the aroma, actually the entire beer relies on the honey flavor to make it quaffable. It’s a mediocre beer with hints of metal, corn, newspaper, but serviceable hints of honey and wheat make it just okay. It’s bad, but a notch over the regular Blue Moon dookie.

Bottle, shared with NachlamSie. Pours light yellow gold with big tight white head. The aroma is raw flowers, wet hay, milk, and sweetness. The flavor is lemons, a few floral tones, general sweetness, a hefty dose of corn, and some grassiness in the finish.

This was not as good as the normal Blue Moon but still a good summer beer. Give it a try.

An okay summer beer. Certainly nothing special. Nice with a slice of lemon.

Grainy, citrus aroma. Golden with frothy head...fairly carbonated. Honey, malts dominated flavours. Smooth, with dry finish.

The honey sweetness makes this brew much smoother to drink than most of the summer brews. It’s obvious honey and fruit flavors will make this the most flavorful beer at the barbecue.

FANTASTIC. I probably rate this beer higher than others being I enjoy a sweeter beer. Very smooth. The honey flavor reminds me of fresh honey off the comb. Definitely sense some clove and although brewed with orange peel, getting more of a peach taste as I also do with regular blue moon.
