🌍 United States · Witbier · One of 77 Witbiers in hopIQ

A lighter wheat beer at 4.0 % ABV, brewed from barley and wheat malt and seasoned with tangerine peel instead of the orange peel and coriander of the flagship. It pours pale gold with a light haze. Tangerine and a soft citrus sweetness sit up front, with a faint tropical hop note behind them. The body is lean and crisp, the wheat adds a gently bready edge, and the finish is short and dry with a trace of zest.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Blue Moon Light

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale gold with a light haze throughout, showing the characteristic cloudiness of a witbier from suspended wheat proteins and yeast. The head forms fine and delicate, settling to a thin collar with modest lacing on the glass. Bright and translucent despite the haze, with lively carbonation visible as fine bubbles rising steadily.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tangerine citrus, providing fresh and juicy top notes that sit distinctly ahead of the underlying wheat character. A soft tropical hop impression follows, adding dimension without assertiveness. The wheat malt contributes a gentle, slightly sweet backdrop that grounds the citrus without introducing bready or grainy intensity.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and lean, with the tangerine peel seasoning taking immediate prominence alongside a delicate wheat-malt sweetness. The mid-palate remains light and refreshing, with the wheat adding a gently bready edge that enhances structure without weight. Bitterness is restrained at 10 IBU, allowing the citrus and spice notes to carry through uninterrupted.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and dry, with a trace of tangerine zest lingering briefly on the palate before fading cleanly. No lingering sweetness or heavy aftertaste; the wheat character dissolves quickly, leaving only a whisper of citric dryness.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Blue Moon Light

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

Witbier glass
Recommended for this style

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.

Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
