Bottle, The Peacock, Liverpool. Served with a slce of orange...Clocked this was from Coors and feared the worst. Poured a hazy orange colour with a fast fading head. Wheaty and vaguely spicy citrus aroma. Pretty watery flavour with slight citrus notes. Probably needed the orange slice to beef the flavour up. Rather uninspiring fayre really and a pity this is masquerading as a ’north american craft beer’ over here when its brewed by a megabucks brewer and is far from a shining example of the genre. Avoid.

12 oz bottle. Very faint aroma of clove, cinnamon. Mostly, it smells like mass-produced swill. Pours deep amber, nice head, nice lacing. Flavors are as described on the label. Kind of watery. This year’s version is better than the last few. This one at least has some pumpkin pie attributes. For the past few years, those flavors were MIA.

(Bottled) I had this one in a diner and it was served near freezing temperature and the glass was frozen, too. The colour is pale orange and beer is cloudy. There was fruitiness and some coriander in the aroma after the beer had warmed a bit. It’s quite light bodied and carbonation in very high. Beer tastes of coriander and there is fruitiness, sweetness and light bitterness in flavour as well. Very short and lightly fruity aftertaste.

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma is toasted grain, caramel and light spicy notes. The taste is faint spice notes, toasted grain, caramel and a faint metallic note. Thin and slightly watery. Very strong carbonation. Not very good but by far the best Blue Moon product I’ve rated.

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.

Bottle - Hazy gold in colour. Slightly fruity and spicy aroma. Slightly tangy and fruity taste with some spicy hints. Slightly thin and disappointing.

12 oz bottle. After Ommegang’s Witte, I thought this one would pale in comparison. After all, this is mass-produced. I was pleasantly surprised to find it tasting better than Ommegang. My overall impression of Blue Moon is surprisingly higher. The one thing that brought this beer down in score is the aroma. I detected none. Blue Moon is one of the greatest craft-like beers brewed by the big three (Bud, Coors, Miller).

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.
