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.

On Tap at City Beer. Pours with a golden body and a white head that lasted and left great lace. Aroma of hops, fruit and caramel. Taste is similar to my Imperial Red (where I copied the PtE hop bill), fruity, a bit of a thin malt profile, with pine hops. Water like mouthfeel.

Dark amber colour. Lovely floral, citric aroma. Moderate bitterness, fruity hoppiness. Slightly sticky. The malts are overdone, knocking the balance out of whack. IPAs and chewiness don’t work for me.

Draught at Toronado, San Francisco. Clear amber. Aroma of grapefruit and licorice. Dryish with clean, rounded mouthfeel, unfortunately also somewhat sticky. The malt provides a solid body and some cookie flavours. The hops provide an intense, salty bitter finish.

Clear copper coloured body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of west-coast citrus & grapefruit hops. Decent aroma-nothing crazy though. Medium-bodied; Strong pungent hop kick of citrus & grapefruit-with a nicer malt backbone. Aftertaste bittered from the hops, a decent overall flavour. Overall, a nice IPA from the west coast! I sampled this pint from draught at Toronado in San Francisco, California on the second day of 10-June-2004...our first was spent in Sydney, Australia.
