Please keep your hats on, but Luna is our first non brewery employee owned dog in the IPA series.

Luna is daughter to Shaz who has been working at @blue_blazer_edinburgh for the past 2 years, however she will be heading back to Australia in the next month. Luna has never made it over here, so as a parting gift the lovely team at the Blazer wanted to do something special for her. And not being able to bring Luna to Scotland, this seemed the next best thing. Luna loves to catch the waves at the beach and does agility when she has some free time.

We wanted Eclipse hops both for its bright fruity profile and the incredible good luck of having an Australian hop named after a phase of the moon.

Cheers to Shaz and Luna who will be reunited very, very soon!

Can from their webshoppe. It pours very slightly hazy golden - yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, fragrant, stone fruits, apricot, peach, nectarine, zingy, zesty, lemon, lime and florals. The taste is firm, super dry, punchy and building bitterness, pithy, zesty, waxy citrus peel, lemon, lime, fragrant, floral, touch herbal, peppery spice, straw, cracker, grass and woody vibes with a lingering bitter citrus peel finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Assertive and commands attention. Super dry and crisp. Satisfying.
