12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear golden amber color with a medium head. Poor head retention and lacing. Aroma is strong musty wheat with lime notes and grain. Taste is toasted malts with big acrid citrus notes and some corn. Medium bodied.

Pours pale amber into a shaker. White micro head subsides to skim the surface leaving no lacing. Caramel and mild lime aromas. Crisp with very muted wheat and limes from front to back. Somehow tastes macro and style-bending at the same time...

Mild DMS smell. Golden color, very thick head. Slightly sweet and flavorless. I think I’ve stumbled onto a bad bunch of spring beers.

Clear amber body with a large frothy off-white head. Wheat aroma with some light fruitiness. Light wheat flavor, some caramel hints, and a citrusy finish, somewhat grainy. Medium light body with fairly high carbonation.

12 oz bottle; Nose of musty wheat with a lime hint , but no fruity esters at all; lightly hazed copper with a small beige head; the flavor has a little pepperiness, some light caramelly sweetness, light lime, and a bit of acetic tartness for a finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium golden color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was faint sweet citrus with a hint of pepper. The flavor was sweet, tangy and had hints of key lime, cardboard and an underlying mustiness.

One word sums up this beer: mediocre. I mean, Blue Moon itself isn’t bad (for what it is). The lime taste was initially almost horrifying to drink, but after a few additional sips it is at least more bearable than Miller Chill’s attempt at fusing lime into the beer. Full Moon was good, Harvest Moon is average, and this one joins Honey moon in the "try again" category. I dont see myself returning to this one - and while it’s still around I’d rather grab Full Moon anyway.

Aroma of light citrus and yeast/spice? Coppery amber color with a decent, lasting white head. Thin to medium body with mild, sort of chewy, carbonation. The flavor is wheat, lime indeed, and it seems some spice. The finish is a bit papery, but not all that bad, and the citrus helps out. Pretty refreshing.

Sorta dark wheat looking but a little more clear. friendly and mild, great carbonation. Clean taste, not offensive and rather fun. Interesting. Overall I am impressed, lovely. Impressed by it’s manners.
