Pours a light golden amber with a thick, foamy white head. Nice aroma of citrus. Lots of carbonation in the mouthfeel. Taste hints of lime, but expected more lime flavor after reading the description on the bottle.

Aug 18, 2008 30-Jun-08 (12-oz bottle, Best by 08-Jun-08: BevMo in La Jolla, CA) At its core, this is just another generic wheat beer with a heavy, very bready flavor. However, with each sip, the lime has enough presence to balance the wheat base in the entry. Unfortunately, within a few seconds, the lime fades off the palate, leaving the unpleasant, wheaty aftertaste of stale bread and heavy yeast. It’s medium in body and carbonation, but without a balanced and cleansing finish, the palate is left feeling unrefreshed. Lime is fairly prominent in the nose, but when swirled, the beer projects cardboard and bready wheat. Hazy golden in color and capped by a large, bubbly, off-white head that eventually settles to a thin ring. As it is, this isn’t a very enjoyable beer, but imagine where it would be without the lime! With poor drinkability being the main issue here, drink this beer cold and have food handy to quickly pick up where the lime leaves off.

Aug 13, 2008 Wheat beer smell with a hint of lime. A pretty clean secent. Nice golden color with a light fizz. Taste a a little lacking, plus it had a weird aftertaste. Not something I would proably buy again

Aug 2, 2008 This was another pretty good spring beer. The lime leaves did add a nice citrus flavor to it but didn’t take away from the beer taste.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle. Weak nose and appearance. I was really disappointed with this beer because I love Blue Moon. The addition of lime leaves was a mistake, in my opinion. Lime peel probably would have been a much better choice.

Jul 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with foamy, off-white head. Looks enticing. Not much nose, smells of wheat and slight banana, maybe some slight citric notes. Taste is an unfortunate amount of lime-esque notes accenting a wheat malt body with a slightly crisp ending. No hops, no real taste other than the lime. Odd metallic aftertaste. Could be the age. A big "eh" from me.
