I feel pretty battered.

Pours a golden amber with a thick white head. Aroma contains apricot. Tastes like a malted apricot, significant wheat influences. Palate includes grass notes as well as peach and apricot. Drinkable, slightly overbearing on the apricot.

No aroma. Cloudy amber, medium head. Bread crust, cardboard. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Not a whole lot going on here, even for a macro.

12 oz. bottle. Appearance is an orange cloudy color, fast dying head. Aroma is artificial apricot, straw and malted wheat.
Mouthfeel is light without any sugar but... The fruit definitely has a slightly fake taste to it. Wheat backbone / straw is thin as is the texture. No need to say any more here.

Bottle. A- Apricot jam, gummy, slightly fake, sweet. A- Orange color, cloudy liquid, white head. T- Apricot jam, gummies, fake, sweet. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, cloying finish. O- Apricot naturally has a slightly plastic fake taste I think so when this was apricot overload it came across as a cloying sweet artificial bomb. Still, not terrible but the apricot was not handled appropriately to make this a well balanced brew. Then again, it's Blue Moon, so this will probably please the fruit fan masses.

Crisp, slightly hazy golden and copper coloured body with a bit of a peach glow and a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of bright peaches, some light citrus, a touch of wheat, a little yeast and some subdued bready qualities with a little sweetness noticeable. Light to Medium-bodied; Large yeastie flavour at first with some apricots, a lot of wheat, a touch of sugar and some bigger bready and biscuity flavours near the end. Aftertaste shows some peaches and apricots with a touch of the sweetness, but this is all about the yeast, the biscuits and the breadiness, and not really in a good way. Overall, a decent, light beer with some light sweet notes but a lot of apricot and peaches, but the strongest is the breads and wheat that show a large yeastie quality near the end. Decent, but not good and perhaps not really worth drinking, even in the heat of summer when far better options exist. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Giant Food in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 22-November-2017 for US$1,99 sampled at home on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 26-January-2018 in Pungoteague, Virginia.
