Sometimes, retirement is a good thing. I’m not sure what they made this out of, but it seems more like corn than wheat. The lime is unnecessary, or at least unnecessarily metallic.

2010 vintage bottle from the back of my buddies "beer fridge"!! This did not age too badly. Typical skunky blue moon wheat with a little roses lime juice. Meh, it was probably much better fresh.

In the Kansas City area, this is not easily found. Very good for what’s turning into a mass produced product.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
From notes. First reviewed 5/2/2010. Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The head bubbles up to 3 cm as I pour it, but before I put the bottle down it is completely gone. Very pale golden amber color, with light visible carbonation rising in the glass.
Trying to find any real aroma here almost made me think I had a cold. There is just nothing there. Some subdued malt aroma, nothing related to lime or citrus.
Extremely processed sort of taste. More corn than malt flavor; what malt is there is of the pale variety. Lime shows up as it warms a little bit. Finishes sweet and chemically smooth.
Fizzy soda pop tingling sensation from the carbonation, but only a little bit crisp. Mostly watery in a light-to-medium body. Almost a chemical residue after each sip.
This was a very boring beer. I might adjust rankings if this was moved to the adjunct category, but as is, this is just not worth drinking.

A - pours lazy deep yellow with some head.
S - simple aromas of wheat/grains and lime
M - light airy body with lively carbonation.
T- Simple wheat and lime combination. Clean and drinakble.
O - was the best of the blue moon offerings.
5+

12 ounce bottle that pours amber in color. Has a sweet smell, tastes sweet as well. I know it is supposed to have lime leaves and lime peel in it, but I did not taste it, tasted like a sweeter blue moon.

Not a bad wheat beer, just your typical Blue Moon taste. I didn’t care for the lime finish, but the wheat was tasting.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 oz bottle. Low aroma maybe a little citrus. Fresh tasting light beer with little limon citrus. Palate crisp and overall a nice clean summer wheat beer on a hot day.

So bashing Blue Moon is fun and productive. We all know that. But can we be objective in the face of scorn aimed at a fake microbrewery? Of course not. But who cares, because, as I said, making fun of Blue Moon is fun and productive. Pours a fizzy, weak amber, with pale edges that hint at its Coorsiness. Smell is piss-beer infused with exotic Keiffer Lime leaves and lime peel, bringing out the freshness of urine in the Spring. Tastes sweet, soapy, with something waaaaay back in the aftertaste approaching a limelike twang. Not much, like an aphid on the back of a rhinoceros on the deck of an aircraft carrier. (4/19/09)
