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.

Golden. The aroma is herbal. The body is a bit creamy, with light floral and fruity hops. Really sessionable. Goes down very quickly.

Gravity at The Doric Arch, London
Hazy blond color with a greenish hue. Light hoppy aroma. It has a soft mouthfeel, mainly for the lack of carbonation, with a grassy malt flavor, light, and ordinary bitterness. Nothing special.
