Drank this too warm which could influence rating. Clear yellow, small lacing white foam. Barley aroma, don’t know where the honey went, likewise in taste. (Memphis 201505)

This one pours a hazy, opaque orange-gold with a thin white head. Aroma is wheaty and slightly malty with a hint of orange. Flavor is wheaty with a strong orange overtone that is slightly but pleasantly sour. Smooth, fizzy texture leaves nice wheaty and citrus finish.

pours a clear golden yellow while yielding a short-lived small spritzy white head. The aroma is relatively tame, offers a good amount of graininess with some background citric notes, maybe a touch of honey. The taste mostly follows the aroma with a grainy, citric, honey profile. The mouthfee is thin, light bodied with average carbonation.

Pours a light golden color. Smell is of honey, some wheat. Taste is mild, bready, a bit of honey. Overall not a bad beer but a little on the bland side.

My wife is a fan of this beer but to me it was a light flavor with just a hint of citrus and to much sweetness from the honey. Nothing remarkable and it was not horrible but it did not stand out in any way.

Sampled on 7/10/2010. This wheat ale pours a light orange gold color from a 12 oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is cereal and fruity and sweet, with a touch of honey . A light bodied wheat beer. The malts are fruity, cereal and sweet The hops are slightly floral. Lively carbonation, that fades very quickly. I am not quite sure just what this beer is supposed to be. Is it a wheat ale? A summer beer? A beer of indeterminate style that is light a crisp and meant to be drunk while sweating profusely? I can’t quite figure it out. It mostly beign, nothing bad but not much to say good either. There is a touch of citrusy, but that’s about all. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Thanks to David (Lilihel's brother) for this one, enjoyed on my trip to Tennessee. Pours a clean golden-yellow colour with a decent white soapy head, average retention and minimal lacing. Wheat aroma with mild notes of citrus and other malts. Smooth watery mouthfeel that is refreshing, medium-thin body. The honey is nice and present, but not too sweet. Just right in the mix, with the wheat and citrus added (which is almost not apparent - like in the nose). An overall pretty refreshing summer ale with the mild sweetness of honey.

A bright golden yellow colored beer. Medium creamy textured, white colored head. Not much hang time and not much lacing. The nose is light, some fruit, like apples. The body is light to medium. Good carbonation and a nice creaminess. Fruity, caramel much bolder in the nose than the smell. The creaminess is the hit in this one.

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.
