Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic 12Pk Cans

Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic 12Pk Cans is a Belgian-style wheat beer brewed with Valencia orange peel and coriander at 0.45% ABV, sold as twelve 12 fl oz cans. As the first non-alcoholic wheat brew released by a major American brewer, it mirrors the flagship Blue Moon Belgian White recipe through a dealcoholization process that preserves the beer's signature citrus-forward character.

Quick Facts: ABV: 0.45%  |  Origin: Denver, Colorado, USA  |  Style: Non-Alcoholic Belgian-Style Wheat Ale  |  Brewery: Blue Moon Brewing Company (Molson Coors)

Production & Heritage

Blue Moon Brewing Company traces its origins to the Sandlot Brewery inside Coors Field in Denver, Colorado, where brewmaster Keith Villa created the original Belgian White recipe in 1995. The non-alcoholic version is produced under Molson Coors and uses the same core grain bill of malted barley, wheat, and oats, along with Valencia orange peel, coriander, and hop extract. The beer is brewed to full strength and then dealcoholized to bring it below 0.5% ABV, retaining much of the flavor complexity of the original while dramatically reducing alcohol content.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: The nose opens with bright orange citrus, almost reminiscent of orange soda, layered over a light lager-like grain quality. Subtle coriander spice and a faint sweetness round out the aromatics.

Taste: The first sip delivers a noticeably citrus-forward character, with orange peel leading the way. Mid-palate, honey and light vanilla notes emerge alongside the wheat's soft, bready texture. Coriander spice gives gentle structure, and the overall impression is notably brighter and crisper than the alcoholic version.

Finish: The finish is clean and relatively short, with lingering orange zest and a slight spiced warmth. The carbonation stays lively throughout, keeping the mouthfeel bubbly and refreshing.

How to Drink Blue Moon NA

Serve chilled in a pint glass or Belgian-style goblet with a fresh orange slice garnish, just as you would the original. The crisp wheat character also makes it a solid base for non-alcoholic mixed drinks. Try it in a NA Shandy by combining it with fresh lemonade for a bright summer cooler. Use it in a Blue Moon Radler by mixing with grapefruit juice to amplify the citrus notes. It also works in an NA Beermosa, paired with orange juice for a brunch-friendly twist that plays directly into the beer's orange peel backbone.

• Weeknight dinners where you want the ritual of a cold beer without the next-day effects
• Hosting outdoor cookouts or game-day gatherings with mixed-drinking-preference groups

Why Blue Moon NA?

Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic was the first Belgian-style wheat ale to enter the NA market from a major American brewer, giving it a head start in a category now crowded with lagers and IPAs. The use of real Valencia orange peel and coriander — the same botanicals in the original 1995 recipe — gives it a genuine flavor identity that many dealcoholized beers struggle to achieve. Its wheat and oat grain bill provides a fuller mouthfeel than most non-alcoholic lagers, making it one of the more texturally satisfying options in the NA space. For anyone seeking a non-alcoholic beer with recognizable character rather than a generic light-beer stand-in, this 12-pack delivers a credible rendition of a well-known style.
