12oz bottle poured into a Sam Adams PP. Mildly hazy darker gold with a creamy off-white head. Bready sweet with a creamy impression of coffee. Notes of caramel, toffee, and honey toast as well. Smooth and malty sweet body, in which the coffee does little to offset the sweetness with bitterness, this is creamy and almost syrupy malt and bread-forward brew.

Not bad, right off the bat the coffee is present. You pop the top and get that coffee aroma you would normally get with a coffee flavored stout or porter but the upside to this is that its a lot lighter beer and with it being a blonde, if you're like me, you can drink 4 or 5 in a row where after 1 or 2 stouts im ready to switch over to something light. The carbonation is a medium to medium high, not harsh but slightly less smooth than i would prefer for a coffee beer. But other than that im a fan and would recommend trying this one.

Has a nice coffee flavor through it. Always a good mix, this beer and coffee thing. Next up, it's pretzels that dip like donuts.

Pours a clear golden color. There's a 2 finger slightly off white head. There's pretty good retention, and some nice lacing on the glass.
The nose is minimal.
Taste - a nice mellow coffee flavor that hits on the front. On the back I get a malty biscuit sweetness. A hint of honey.
Light bodied, as expected.
Tasty, and easy to drink. I like it.

Bottle. Not a bad blue moon variant. Tastes like a coffee kolsch or cream ale. Easy drinking an really nice coffee flavor. Simple, but cheap and crushable.

Pours a clear golden color with a one-finger foamy white head that reduces to a ring

S- faint generic coffee bean up front, light undertones of wheat, clove and bubblegum

T- slightly sweet up front with some light caramel and vanilla cream, followed by a plain coffee flavor mid-palate. The finish gives clove and bubblegum with a hint of wheat

M- medium body with medium carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel that continues into a crisp finish

O- just enough coffee to taste it but keep high drinkability

My wife bought a six pack of this beer....from a traditional long neck brown bottle, this beer pours a light blonde color with a frothy white head. Not bad lace. The aroma has quite a bit of coffee scents...not espresso or fresh-brewed coffee, but rather more of an instant coffee scent. The taste is slightly sweet, with a bit of malt and a continued coffee note. Not bad, but also not really exciting or exceptional at all.

Pours an ordinary golden with a white head that dissipates quickly. It smells like sweet coffee with undertones of chocolate and vanilla and a slightly golden brown roasted malt finish. It's sweeter than expected, but has a nice coffee taste with a vanilla finish and that same slightly golden brown blonde ale taste. It's very drinkable and goes down easily. Overall better than original blue moon and not too bad.

One glass bottle of a six-pack poured into a cylindrical glass.
L:Perfectly clean and clear, a shiny golden hue, like apple juice. A short wheat head appears only a finger or so tall and quickly subsides

S: First earthy cloves, followed by very light coffee with wheat on the tail. Surprisingly minimal coffee on the nose. No one scent stands out, they each gently take turns.

T: Wow, coffee taste is much deeper than I anticipated, starting in the middle of the palate and then flooding the mouth. It starts light and then is progressively emboldened. Bread follows on the end, as if it were an iced coffee with oat milk. Perhaps light notes of cinnamon here and there, plus a light pervading sweetness throughout.

F: Light bodied and low carbonation. Just slight bitterness on the swallow.

After evaluation, I feel this iced coffee blonde deserves to be respected. The smell was much subtler than the bold taste. I desired more of the mouthfeel, there was not much to work with. I think it could have gone without honey and instead replaced a spice like cardamom or clove. However, as a fan of coffee, especially iced, it was enjoyable. There may be better out there.

I love coffee/beer mashups and this one from Blue Moon did a great job. It poured into a blondish gold that resembled an iced coffee for sure. You can definitely smell that coffee flavoring and when you sip, you get a sweet coffee after taste. Blondes are a delicious beer style to begin with, but something about this coffee flavoring really pairs well with the style. All in all a smooth drinking beer that refreshes when you're in a beer and coffee mood.

Overall considerably Good. Coffee Flavor defiantly comes through in the tasting notes. The beer itself is somewhat bland, more suited towards a larger Market. Appeals to a majority of drinkers who don't scoff at Beer like an enthusiast. It would be much better if they would go with more boldness but none the less, A pretty good Ale.
American take on a Belgian Wheit Beir, perfect for any time of the year in my opinion. Nice Maltiness with the added coffee notes. Quickly becomes tangy after a few sips, so don't overload your pallet. This beer would really stand out if they would have used Lactose Sugar in the fermentation process. If they would have made this beer a Blonde Coffee Cream Stout, they would would have a true winner on their hands. They could have used the coffee extract as replacement for the darker roasted Malts.
