Description
At Moon Dog we love crafting bloody delicious beers that are fun and a little bit different. We've been doing it since 2010 at our rad brewery in the backstreets of inner Melbourne’s Abbotsford. Over the years we’ve grown a heap, adding our tropical brewery bar paradise, the ballroom oasis function space, and a freakin' big fancy production brewery to keep more delicious beers flowing. We’re a proudly independent, Australian owned craft brewery, still run by the same guys that started it all those years ago.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 14/01/21. Golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is sweet malts, tangerine, papaya, hint of lime. Taste comprises creamy malts, vanilla essence, twist of lime, ice cream does come through a little. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. So so gimicky affair.

330ml can via Beer52: BB 23rd Mar 2022. Drank at home on 8th Jan 2021. Clean golden body, thin white crust of bubbles on top. Slight citrus nose, malty flavour and mildly sweet to taste. Easy drinking Pale Ale that isn't going to test your senses too greatly.

330ml can via Beer52; BB 3rd Apr 2022. Poured into a 'Chimay' chalice at home on 6th Jan 2021. Black bodied, foaming tanned head that sadly fell away far to swiftly. More chocolate than sour cherries (pleased about that), it's malty with a caramel semi-sweetness from start to finish. Needs a drop of 'Schwarzwaelder Kitschwasser' to liven it up a bit (only kidding).

Can from Beer 52. Has an aroma of fruity jam – I guess cherries, but could be strawberry. There’s some chocolate lurking behind it too. Pours a very dark brown. Normally no head, but it you manage to force one, it’s dark beige. In the mouth the sourness of the cherries hits first before the chocolate comes along and smothers it with sweetness. There’s hints of vanilla and treacle too. Plenty going on heer – I just wish it tasted a bit more like beer !

Bottle. Pours very dark brown. Burnt caramel on nose. Chocolate and more burnt notes in glass. A pleasant enough sipper, but I prefer a straightforward brown.
