I liked it, as a mainstream-variety beer. Almost went down too easily, there’s not much to enjoy and I think the honey helps. Misprinting on some labels detracted from appearance.

Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat has a thick, white head and a clear, bubbly, yellow-gold appearance, with some nice lacing. Aroma is of sour dough and light citrus, and the taste is very strong on the clover honey. This is very sweet, and bread is present. Mouthfeel is slick and medium. Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat finishes mostly dry and easy drinking. Overall, this is a pretty good beer, for those who enjoy flavor beers (which I don’t, generally). RJT

Pours clear gold with white head. Scent is grain, corn. Taste is wheat, weak honey, grain... Sweetness grows as it goes on to the point it’s just cloying and annoying.........pass.

Deep yellow almost gold pour with white head. Aroma dominated by wheat. Flavor is sweet wheat malt with a flat earthy low bitter finish. A light finish with fizzy carbonation. I don’t think I get any honey at all but ok for a wheaty.

Golden blonde pour into thick white head that quickly fades into melting lacing and a swirling pool of giant bubbles. Aroma of malty biscuit and straw. Initial flavor of lightly toasted wheatbread and honey that fades into orange zest.

Tap @ THE Steakout Saloon. Clear, golden appearance with a white head. Dull honey, bland, sweet grainy aroma. Macro lager, sweet honey, nasty corn, pale malty flavor. Shitty. Fuck you.

12oz bottle picked up at a local store
Appearance: Pours crystal clear light golden with a mediums sized white head that dissipates to a small ring, some lacing. Lots of carbonation.

Taste: Malts, wheat, honey and mid citrus bitterness
OK, it grows on you as you drink it but I wouldn’t have another.
