Is this beer a beer that looks lime a hoegaarden ?

Hoegaarden is what Blue Moon is trying to be. And failing quite miserably in my opinion.

With respect - Blue Moon is *not* trying to be a Witbier. It is a wheat beer flavored with orange and lime, but the similarity ends there.

BM uses ale yeast, not Belgian yeast, as well as American hops and oats. There is a good thread here with one of its inventors - read on several pages, as the original recipe at the top of the post is indeed Hoegaarden style and *not* a BM clone.

It says Belgian style White Beer right on the label and it's brewed with orange and coriander. They're obviously not trying to be a traditional witbier but its definitely a variation on the style.

I won't drink BMC products but I will drink Blue Moon since its a craft beer.

In bev owns the blue moon label. I like blue moon but since I refuse to add to BMCs earnings I brew my own.

I thought Blue Moon was owned by MillerCoors? Either way, there's much better examples of the style available IMHO, and making a better one is pretty easy as well.
