Blue Moon Honey Moon Summer Ale

Weak, yet clean, hay aroma. Clear golden, thin white head. It tastes like candied rose hips and carbonated water. Not very beery and not very good. Gold medal @ GABF? Seriously, this must have been the only entry in the category.

The aroma is its worst quality as it smells skunked. It tastes like a low-end macrobrew. I may have gotten a bad case and will have to re-rate later.

Situation: Working on some poetic lines, however elusive they prove to be... Glassware: Hoegaarden tumbler... Appearance: light copper body with bubbles clinging to every edge in the tumbler; white, fizzy, foamy head thins quickly--definitely filtered... Aroma: bright, sprightly cloveed and citric--nothing subtle here--and the orange zest (whether legit or additive) is alluring... Palate: a fizzy, zesty busy medium-bodied ale--a bit thin at the finish but present enough as the sip begins; set for "refreshing"... Taste: the lemony/orange citric zip refreshes; can this be an ale with zero hop presence? wheat is light, which means the flavor is too--intentional, yes; though the evening is not muggy or hot, it still works as Coors intended, yet this one should best the OG Blue Moon in taste, and I am not sure it does--plus, I’d rather have the real lemon or orange in the glass, not in the bottle... Overall: This finishes with an almost dish detergent lemon drizzle, and isn’t really slammable because it actually is slammable enough...

Poured from a bottle. No Head, No Lacing. Straw Yellow. Decent carbonation. Sweet Nose. Definitely honey sweet flavor. No hops detectable. This is a beer for people who don’t like beer. Almost like a fruit beer with no fruit. Won’t buy it again. It isn’t terrible, I would drink it if offered with no viable alterntive.

Pretty good. Very sweet almost to the point of syrupy. I wouldn’t/couldn’t drink many of these brews on account of the sugary sweetness. Color is rich yellow; the head is mild. Taste is honey and sugar. Finishes smoothly.

The wife wanted it. Clear straw yellow color with no head. Aroma of wheat, and some fruit. A bit sweet. Can taste the honey, some fruit. Too sweet.

On tap at some festival in Chicago. Pours a decent honey yellow color with little head. Aroma is big and sweet, and the taste is awfully sweet too. This had too much artificial sweetness to it, and not enough balance throughout.

Bottle 35, 5 cl. Clear golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Sweet honey aroma. Medium-bodied, sweetish honey, almonds and cardboard. Dry and lightly sulphurous finish with a sticky honey note that comes late. 060709
