From the makers of Blue Moon (well, Coors) comes an even more summery beer with Honey Moon. It's a wheat beer with honey and orange peel. As with Blue Moon, Honey Moon is a nice entry into honey brews. In fact it won the Gold at the American Beer Festival in the Honey Lager/Ale category.

Overall it's a pretty good beer. The honey is definitely pronounced. The sweetness hits you. The honey gives the brew a bit of thickness. And it coats the tongue nicely. It goes down cleanly and easily. There is a bit of orange peel but I'd like it if there were more. I hate to say it, but I would put an orange wedge in this to give it a bit more bite. Definitely worth a drink in the summer to quench a thirst or enjoy slowly.

Oddly, Blue Moon Brewing is owned by Coors but isn't mentioned anywhere on the label or even the website. And, it's imported from Canada to Colorado. So, you can even say your drinking an import.
