POMELO PINE CANDIED-PEEL
Developed in partnership with Cloudwater, this is a West Coast IPA in the true modern sense. With a bright golden hue, and a reassuringly bitter finish there is a clean character. Using a trio of classic 'C' hops in the hot side, we then gave things a twist with NZ 106 & Superdelic for a flurry of bitter grapefruit, candy & citrus.

Can from Great Grog. Clear deep golden body with an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, pine and strawberry. Flavour of brown bread and orange. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. A tasty and accomplished west coast IPA. One of Moonwake’s best beers.

440ml can. Clear orange gold with a big off-white head, good retention too. Aroma of strong pine, resin, orange marmalade, grapefruit. Taste follows suit with a prominent piney resinous flavour, grapefruit, marmalade, caramel, biscuit malts, good strong bitterness to finish which lingers. Medium bodied. Excellent westie, really enjoyed this.
