A classic IPA focused on balance and drinkability with a thoughtful blend of American and German grown hops. Resinous without being sticky, malty depth without being sweet and like all Moonlight beers, kept unfiltered yet cold-conditioned for clarity.

This was quite nice. Big over the top hops. Oily, resinous, very dry and bitter. No malt to be found, just hops, and more hops. Nice stuff.

Bittersweet, white grapefruit pith, lime, thin resin, long aspirin, numbing finish. Soft palette, thin, soft hand pull fizzy. Good & easy.

Keg at Flavor with the crew. Pours unclear gold with a creamy, white head. Nice nose, some pithy citrus, pale bread. Medium sweet flavour with hard bitter orange peel, pithy grapefruit, tangerine. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A little harsh on the finish, with bitter grass and citrus rind, light pine. Too bitter overall, not enough balance. So so.
