A refreshing wheat ale crafted with clover honey for a hint of sweetness and a touch of orange peel for subtle citrus notes.

My friends enjoyed this, I did not. Small, fizzy, white head. Body is a sparkling, chill hazed yellow. Aroma of honey, wheat, and wet dog. Taste of sweet water, if I push myself I can find some cinnamon. Dry mouthfeel fizzy carbonation.

Blue moon honey summer ale is filtered. No gunk on the bottom of this 12 oz twist off cap brown bottle. Slightly hazy but is nearly the appearance of ubiquitous pale yellow American lager. Steady streams of visual carbonation arising. Thin white head and a girdle. The clean mild aroma is no indication of the honey impact that is lurking in the first sip, not overwhelmingly syrupy sweet but certainly honey flavors. Some bitterness that cannot be assigned to hops or malts but it is present and diligent. Not much wheatiness n the taste, more like mild lager perhaps. Good creamy carbonation, above average in tingliness. Odd how the honey impact fades as you near the bottom of the glass. After I saw the label, I’m not really sure which blue moon variety I tasted previously. Not quite as good as Samuel Adams Hefeweizen or Harpoon UFO Hefeweizen but on par with other wheat beer that have some medium bitterness. Probably better than JW Dundees.

Really pale colour that was only a little cloudy. Lasting white head. Tiny little fruity smell. A lot of flavour at the front actually, with the honey, orange and spicy tastes. Then to the finish you get the bread. I think I prefer this to the normal Blue Moon actually.

Typical american wheat aroma, not my favorite of beer aromas: lemon, wheat, a vague herbal hop, toasted wheat bread. Hazy golden color, medium pure white head. Honey flavor is quite pronounced, and lingers with a distinct aftertaste. Neat! Drying finish, not overly hopped like some wheats.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale straw yellow color with a small yellow-white head. The aroma was faintly spicy, peppery and dry. The flavor was mildly sweet, lightly spicy and had an artificial lemon element. The finish was dry and peppery.

Somewhat grassy aroma backed by llight spice (which might be my take on honey). Light brassy gold color with a frothy white head that laces. Better than thin body. Starts with a definite hit of citrus, turns creamy as the stern carbonation foams away, ends with a very wheat taste accompanied by honey notes around the mouth and citrus oil on the tongue. A relatively complex finish for a light ale. And it’s from Coors? Amazing.

Bottle. Had never seen this one before, so I had to pick it up since I’m a huge fan of Blue Moon. The only other variation I’ve had was the pumkin beer (which was not too bad). This one was not terrible, but frankly it was just too sweet to have more than one in a day.
