CRISP AROMATIC FLORAL
Moonwake have taken a brewery classic and added a little eastern flair. Built on a base of both torrefied and basmati rice , we use a classic step-mash technique to stop the rice gelatanising and extract the delicate flavour of basmati. We add the “red gold” of Persian saffron in the whirlpool to yield earthy & floral notes. It’s then fermented extra cold with Nova yeast for a crisp slightly sweet beer with a spicy floral kick.

440ml can. Clear golden with a white head. Aroma of sweet grains, rice, saffron. Taste of rice and grains, saffron giving it strong floral flavour and a very mild spicy suggestion, quite sweet, almost a slight apple/pear note too which I've got from sake before. Medium bodied.
Interesting lager. Wasn't sure at first but it grew on me and I really enjoyed it. Aroma and flavour very reminiscent of sake I'd say. Very different from other rice lagers I've had, think it just wants some good bitterness.
