The smell of this beer is a spicy, a little yeasty, and even some buttery diacetyl smell. As the beer sits for a minute the buttery aroma gets more pronounced. The color is light orange with a thick white head of foam.
The taste of this beer is strange. There is some citrus taste with a some sweetness on the start, followed by a big butter diacetyl taste. In the finished there is a light stale hops or stale even stale beer flavor, and the buttery taste on the roof of my mouth. The mouthfeel is smooth like a Blue Moon.
I am not a fan of this beer. When I first smelled the diacetyl I though I was mistaken and there was no way the flavor could be in a commercial beer, diacetyl is normally an off flavor. But as I got drinking it became clear there is a strong butter characteristic to this beer that I don't like. Blue Moon is an ok beer, but the spin offs have been disappointments.
