Can (2/16/24) pour from Valley Beverage. Opaque black with no sparkle, frothy beige head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong roasted earthy malts. Taste is strong roasted earthy malts--a bit ashy--nuts; mellows as it warms. Frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Good strength, ashiness mellows as it warms. Decent.

Mostly pine here. Golden pour with good fluffy head retention. Not a ton of character here, but might be a bit old. Light bitter end. Some straw. Can from mail order.

Can. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has earthy grass and bread with a bit of pine and some grains supporting. Flavor has earthy grass and earthy citrus with a bit of pine and a bread backbone.

Fresh can. Enjoyable. Medium golden amber in color. Light haze. Fluffy slightly off white head. Sweet hop notes but mostly herbal, mineral-ish flavors to them. A little pine. It has more malt to it than you might expect from a wet hop pale ale. Toasty malty sugars. Light caramel. Pleasant, clean flavor. It has that sweet wet hop flavor but again more malt sweetness than you typically find in this sort of thing. Finishes fairly brisk with light to moderate bitterness. Some lingering pine/mineral/citrus rind hop aftertaste. Feel is soft and nice. Enjoyable little beer. It's not going to wow you but it's solid and fits with Moonlight's general character.
