Poured a straw color. Aroma is slight honey and muted spice. Taste is crude honey malt. Pretty flat. Rated 8/15/08

Clear golden coloured body with a slight orange hue. Aroma of fake sugars, citrus and very little else. Light-bodied; Gross funky fake sugar flavours that overpower anything else. Aftertaste is simply disgusting - the sugar from this is offputting and overpowering, not a good finish or taste to have in the mouth. Overall, this beer is EASILY worth passing up - the normal blue moon is much better and drinkable - this is a poor attempt at a beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle on 28-March-2010.

Like a bad lager mixed with some honey syrup. My first impression of Honey Moon was that it doesn’t really taste like beer. It’s more like a really bad light cider mixed with artificial honey. The honey flavor really isn’t all bad, but the grainy off-flavored malt and non-existent hops kill it for me. I’d like to give it a lower score, but it’s definitely not at quite the depths of something like cheap malt liquor. The aroma is disappointingly weak. The appearance is poor at best. The beer is an odd color, a light sickly yellow, with an awful fizzy head that immediately dissipates to nothing. I generally don’t care about appearance, but some of these big mass-produced beers look very odd, especially the sweet ones. The feel is way more cloying than it should be, particularly for a beer made with honey. A bad, ugly beer.

12 oz bottle. I usually think this is the best summer beer on the market. I’m usually impressed by the honey flavor. I can barely detect any this year, however. It seems as Blue Moon grows in popularity, their beers get more bland. It’s like Coors is sacrificing quality in order to pump out more product. I’ve thought the same thing about their fall pumpkin ale for years. Years ago, that beer had a strong pumpkin pie flavor. Now I can barely detect any. And so it is with Honey Moon now. It has just a hint of honey now. Pours almost no head; pale hazy golden hue. Tastes like an inoffensive, bland wheat ale.

Weak, yet clean, hay aroma. Clear golden, thin white head. It tastes like candied rose hips and carbonated water. Not very beery and not very good. Gold medal @ GABF? Seriously, this must have been the only entry in the category.

Pretty good. Very sweet almost to the point of syrupy. I wouldn’t/couldn’t drink many of these brews on account of the sugary sweetness. Color is rich yellow; the head is mild. Taste is honey and sugar. Finishes smoothly.

Bottle 35, 5 cl. Clear golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Sweet honey aroma. Medium-bodied, sweetish honey, almonds and cardboard. Dry and lightly sulphurous finish with a sticky honey note that comes late. 060709

12 fl oz bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small white head. Cornish and vague syrupy sweet aroma. Bitter and syrupy flavoured, light cornish touch. Light bitter finish. Lasting syrupy flavoured finish impression.

Location: Had this one a few times before, but I'll drink it one more time and give it a rating
12 oz bottle, I didn't buy it, and I don't know where it came from, 7/16/09
Aroma: Light lemon/citrus nose, a bit of honey, not much else there
Appearance: Clear and fizzy yellow color, minimal head
Flavor: Dull and uninteresting sweetness, not much else
Palate: Light body, overly carbonated
Overall Impression: Yup, I remembered this one pretty well. I thought I'd give it another shot, but there is not a ton of excitement here. Another boring beer that a macro brewer poorly hides as a micro.

Bottle. Medium yellow body with a frothy white head that disappears slowly. Malty aroma of grain and biscuit with hints of orange and honey. The flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter and lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, bitter and acidic. Light to medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Not near as crisp and clean as its marketing would have you believe.
