Frequently Asked Questions About Blue Moon beer
What does Blue Moon beer taste like?
Blue Moon beer has a light body with citrus, mild spice, and a smooth wheat-beer character. Its classic Belgian White combines orange-peel and coriander notes, making it taste brighter and less bitter than many hop-forward beers.
Why is Blue Moon beer served with an orange?
Blue Moon beer is often served with an orange slice because the citrus complements its orange-peel aroma and wheat-beer spices. The garnish is optional, though; the beer is also commonly enjoyed without fruit.
Is Blue Moon beer Belgian or American?
Blue Moon beer is American, despite its Belgian-style name and brewing inspiration. It was first brewed in Denver, Colorado, and its classic Belgian White is an American take on Belgian witbier.
What style of beer is Blue Moon?
Blue Moon’s classic Belgian White is a Belgian-style witbier, or white wheat beer. It is brewed with wheat and barley malt and is known for citrus and spice notes rather than the pronounced hop bitterness of an IPA.
What ingredients are in Blue Moon beer?
The classic Blue Moon Belgian White is made with malted barley, white wheat, oats, coriander, and Valencia orange peel. Recipes can differ across other Blue Moon varieties, so those ingredients describe the classic beer, not every product.
How much alcohol is in Blue Moon beer?
Classic Blue Moon Belgian White is 5.4% alcohol by volume. Alcohol strength can differ among Blue Moon varieties and products sold in different markets, so check the specific bottle or can for its ABV.
Is Blue Moon beer an IPA?
No, Blue Moon beer is not an IPA. Its classic Belgian White is a wheat-based witbier with citrus and coriander notes, while an IPA is typically defined by a more prominent hop aroma and bitterness.
What food goes well with Blue Moon beer?
Blue Moon beer pairs well with seafood, grilled chicken, salads, and mildly spicy dishes. Its citrus character can also complement fried foods without competing with their richer flavors.
Is Blue Moon beer considered a craft beer?
Blue Moon began as a craft-style beer made at a brewpub, but it is now a large commercial brand owned by Molson Coors. Whether people call it “craft” depends on how they use that label.
What glass should you use for Blue Moon beer?
A tall, wide-mouthed wheat-beer glass works well for Blue Moon beer because it gives its citrus and spice aromas room to open up. Pour it chilled and add an orange slice if you like the traditional garnish.
