The Take
Blue Moon NA is big-brewery wheat water cosplaying as craft beer with orange peel garnish. The whole thing exists to harvest sober-curious dollars with the same industrial base as regular Blue Moon but stripped of alcohol.
Malted barley, wheat, and oats lead the ingredient list while natural flavors and hop extract patch the gaps. This is not a minimalist NA beer.
The Verdict
Blue Moon NA leans on orange peel and coriander to mask standard big-brewery NA production. The result is wheat water that signals virtue without delivering craft quality.
Skip it. Buy a single-ingredient NA like Athletic Brewing Run Wild.
