Our flagship pale, and our most famous beer. Moonshine has been in production since way back in 1996, when our brewery led the path to America to experiment with hops never before seen in the UK. More than 20 years down the line and Moonshine is still a firm favourite across the board. Hopped with Willamette, Delta, Citra, Chinook & Centennial - this is a beautifully well balanced pale perfect for any occasion. Multi award winner and Bronze medal winning Golden Ale at the Champion Beer of Britain Awards 2018.

Cask at the Fat Cat, Ipswich. Pours very pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is floral, hoppy, fruity notes of grapefruit, peach and pineapple. Medium sweetness, moderate hoppy bitterness. Body is quite light, slight sticky texture, average carbonation. Bittersweet finish. Nice one.

Cask at the Nursery Tavern, Coventry on 26th October 2016. Slightly hazy gold with thin whitish spot-lacing foam. Herby hoppiness and yeasty notes in aroma. Fruity in-mouth with peach, citrus and bitter orange peel. Sharp finish of citrus peel and some grassiness. Smooth, somewhat clingy mouthfeel and medium body.

On cask at Ye Olde Bowling Green. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - floral and mineral. Taste - more floral and predominantly citrus. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a solid example of the style.

Cask at the Devonshire Cat, Sheffield. When in Sheffield... drink one of the bestsellers. Mid-gold, clear with a big white head. Cereal, lemon, hay and slight astringency in the aroma. Clean bittersweet taste, a hint of soap. More bitterness in the citrusy finish. A good beer.
