Moonwake has added a bit of Kiwiana (A sense of NZ pop culture) to the Scottish classic, Eighty Shilling.
A malt blend of Special Belgium, Double Roasted Crystal and Melanoidin play together, creating a deep reddish brown hue and full body. Layers of biscuit, toffee and raisin are hopped with Wai-Iti and Southern Cross for delicate fig notes with a hint of spice.

Panda at home, thanks to Graham Grumbo, 31/01/2026.
Hazed deep orange amber topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is stewed fruit, grains, brown bread, herb, straw.
Taste comprises biscuit, tangy fruits, herb, hedgerow.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Passable offering ... a touch on the harsh side.

From tap at Jeremiah's Taproom, Edinburgh. Nice blend of rich malt and hops. Toasty caramalts with notes of toffee, touch of tobacco, with gentle fruity hoppy touches. Firm bitter taste, light sweet. A fine glass of ale.
