About Blue moon
Blue Moon is a brand of Belgian-style wheat beer known for its pale, cloudy appearance and hints of orange and coriander flavors. Originating from Golden, Colorado, USA, this beer was inspired by European brewing traditions. Typical in American cuisine and beer culture, it contains alcohol, carbohydrates, and trace vitamins like B6 present due to fermentation. Blue Moon has approximately 180 calories per 12-ounce serving, with about 13 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of protein. However, its nutritional density is relatively low, as alcoholic beverages provide calories without significant essential nutrients.
