Blue Moon Honey Daze 6Pk

Blue Moon Honey Daze 6-Pack is a sessionable honey wheat ale brewed with real clover honey, packaged in a six-pack of 12 oz servings at 3.9% ABV. Its lower alcohol content and pronounced honey character set it apart from Blue Moon's flagship Belgian White, placing it squarely in warm-weather, easy-drinking territory.

Quick Facts: ABV: 3.9%  |  Origin: Denver, Colorado, USA  |  Style: Honey Wheat Ale (Witbier)  |  Brewery: Blue Moon Brewing Company (Molson Coors)

Production & Heritage

Blue Moon Brewing Company was founded in 1995 by Keith Villa at the SandLot Brewery inside Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, and operates today under the Molson Coors umbrella with primary production in Golden, Colorado. Honey Daze is brewed with real clover honey integrated into the grain bill alongside wheat malt, producing a lighter-bodied variant that sits well below the 5.4% ABV of Blue Moon Belgian White. The addition of honey contributes fermentable sugars that dry out the finish while leaving residual floral sweetness, and the beer retains the brand's signature witbier haze and subtle citrus inflection from orange peel.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Rich clover honey dominates the nose, followed by soft wheat grain and a faint thread of orange peel. The overall impression is floral and inviting without heavy sweetness.

Taste: Honey leads on entry, coating the palate with a light, nectar-like sweetness that quickly transitions into wheaty, grainy pale malt at mid-palate. Subtle bubblegum and orange peel notes appear beneath the honey, adding complexity without competing for attention. The body is light, and moderate carbonation keeps each sip crisp.

Finish: Clean and relatively short, with residual honey sweetness fading into dry wheat grain. The mouthfeel stays smooth throughout, never cloying despite the honey-forward profile.

How to Drink Honey Daze

Serve cold — around 40–45°F — in a standard pint glass or Blue Moon's signature goblet to capture the honey aromatics. A thin orange wheel garnish reinforces the citrus notes already present in the brew.

• Beer-a-Rita: Honey Daze's low ABV and natural sweetness make it a refreshing base for a beer margarita with fresh lime juice and a salted rim.
• Shandy: Mix equal parts Honey Daze and fresh lemonade for a sessionable summer shandy where the clover honey adds depth beyond a standard lager version.
• Radler: Combine with grapefruit juice for a citrus-forward radler — the wheat backbone and honey round out any bitterness from the grapefruit.

Best For

• Backyard barbecues and cookouts where a low-ABV, crowd-friendly beer keeps the afternoon going
• Introducing craft-curious drinkers to wheat ales without overwhelming hop bitterness
• Hot-weather sessions at the beach, poolside, or on the patio
• Pairing alongside brunch dishes where heavier beers would overpower the food
