Draft. Pours a golden color. Served with orange flavored sugar, not very manly. A nice light flavor that I get a lot of wheat flavor in the taste. Decent summer beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap. Pours a clear amber body with a small fizzy white head that faded to a thin film. The nose is lightly sweet with a touch of honey and citrus, some light yeast and wheat notes. The flavor is pretty boring, but there’s no real flaws. On the sweeter side, with a lingering honey finish, minimal yeast influence. Lighter bodied with a bit of clinginess on the finish. Fine fizzy carbonation. Decent enough for a pint, but I wouldn’t have a second.

From bottle. Pours hazy orange with high head. A lot like the regular blue moon with more sweetness up front.

Nothing truly remarkable about this one, but at the same time there nothing really bad about it, it is a refreshing summer ale, light in color no strong aroma or semi sweet with a touch of fruit flavor.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a mostly clear dark yellow with a very thin ring of white head. Aroma of wheat, light clove and some sour honey. Taste is medium sweet. Mostly honey with some clove on the aftertaste. Medium bodied with a thin yet sticky texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. Too sweet for my taste.

This beer falls short in many aspects, like dating Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan. If you go to a bar and there is no other women available, then try this one , otherwise look around. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tap in a shaker. Served with an orange that I promptly discarded. Cloudy tangerine color brew with a nearly nonexistent bright white head. No lace. Aroma is orange oil but I think that's leftover from the afore mentioned garnish. Subtle wheat malt fragrance beyond that. Taste is heat with a milder corriander than the typical Blue Moon. I like this better. Would love a tad more hippiness to give it some character but overall this is pretty drinkable and serviceable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Nothing offensive about this one but nothing great either. Refreshing enough slight taste of honey and wheat of course that sets it apart from a Bud or Coors has a bit more going on than that but not much.Smooth and dry Picked this up as a single because I did not want a 6 er of it Sam Summer is a lot better. Really its kind of bland as I get through it. But I guess its supposed to be a refreshing summer brew and it works as that. Just cant tell much difference between this and a basic pale lager.

Very mild aroma with a light pleasant flavor. Lovely on the palette, crisp wheat taste. This is a great light hot summer evening beer. Whether it’s an evening on the porch or at a bbq, this beer is perfect.
