The Art of Tasting Beer

At Blue Moon Brewing Company, everything we do stems from our artistic approach to brewing beer. A desire to take great, classic styles and make them better by adding unique twists.

There’s an artistic side to tasting beer too. Drinking a beer is a pleasurable experience that involves all the senses. When tasting a beer, brewmasters try to slow down the process and pay attention to sight, smell, feel and taste. Over time, a beer lover develops their palate and is able to distinguish subtle flavors.

Our Beers

Blue Moon™ Belgian White is a refreshing, medium-bodied, unfiltered Belgian-style wheat ale spiced with fresh coriander and orange peel for a uniquely complex taste and an uncommonly smooth finish.

The name "Belgian White" is a reference to the cloudy white, opaque appearance of the beer. "Belgian White" also refers to the style of beer, which has been brewed in Belgium for about 300 years. This type of ale is brewed with malt, wheat and oats. It is unfiltered, which allows protein and yeast to remain suspended in the beer and creates the cloudy appearance. This also adds to the smoothness and full body of the beer.

A slice of orange is the perfect complement to Blue Moon Belgian White, bringing out the natural spices and subtle fruit flavor.

Blue Moon Belgian White was launched in 1995 and is available in bottles and kegs. The brew has 171 calories per 12-ounce serving and 5.4 percent alcohol by volume.
