A sweet, white ale gussied up with some honey and orange peel. But the honey is a bit too pronounced for me,

not bad, though there are definitely better wheat beers out there with better flavor profiles. still, if it was low on funds or the store had a really weak selection, this would do in a pinch.

Pours golden with a white head, taste is similar to regular blue moon wit but with less sweetness and a lighter body. Decent orange and honey sweetness, but overall not a beer I like to drink.

12 oz bottle. I usually think this is the best summer beer on the market. I’m usually impressed by the honey flavor. I can barely detect any this year, however. It seems as Blue Moon grows in popularity, their beers get more bland. It’s like Coors is sacrificing quality in order to pump out more product. I’ve thought the same thing about their fall pumpkin ale for years. Years ago, that beer had a strong pumpkin pie flavor. Now I can barely detect any. And so it is with Honey Moon now. It has just a hint of honey now. Pours almost no head; pale hazy golden hue. Tastes like an inoffensive, bland wheat ale.

Holy. This one came out of nowhere and slapped me in the face for a wake up call. Im liking this beer a lot granted partly due to not so high expectations. The nose has this creaminess to it that is hard to pin point. Its like this mild vanilla ice cream aroma. The same creaminess is present in the taste aswell. This beer is refreshingly crisp and it looks the part. EXCELLENT Summer time brew. I love it!

Blue Moon with a dose of honey. Not much spicy and bite. Pretty yellow haze, 1/2 head, lite lacing. If you need honey in your beer, try this.

Doesn’t smell so hot, kind of like a hefeweizen with something bad going on. flavor is nice but a weird sweetness lingers. the honey sweetness isn’t bad but there’s something grainy going on that i don’t care for. finishes pretty clean. i like it more than widmer hefeweizen. not bad at all.

Slight aroma that I can’t really place with a rich gold color. Not as sweet as I would have liked, the honey gets lost. Leaves sort of a sour aftertaste. I really dig the bottles though!!!
