I liked this. The honey taste is very nice and it’s a good wheat beer. No need to add orange or lemon as the citrus flavor is already there. I don’t understand the low ratings.

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.

My favorite Blue Moon product. Pours a hazy gold, with a decent head. Smells of citrus and also the citrus taste is felt very prominently, mainly at the back of the mouth. This is a very good summer ale, close to one of my favorites.

A great summer ale. Light taste with a hint of honey and superb drinkability. Great with a light cigar. Not an evening or or dessert beer.

Magnificent!!! Pretty sweet for a summer ale, and with noticeable hints of orange peel and maybe some honey (faint). There’s an odd wheaty characteristic to this brew, unlike anything I’ve had in years, but it’s refreshing! Almost zesty. I’d wager this brew is EVEN better than the regular Blue Moon, which is saying something! Utterly terrific summer lawnmower beer.

I am pretty picky about the beer I drink. I don’t like a really dark, ’gritty’ kind of beer. This is probably why I like this beer so much. It’s light in appearance, and smooth to the palate, but not bland at all. I’ve tried it both freezing cold, and room temperature, and it’s great both ways, however, being an American, I tend to prefer it very cold. Definitely one of my favorite beers of all time.

A really great ale. I don’t have fancy explanations like most people here but if your an average beer drinker like me you’ll probably love this stuff!
