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.

(Can) Pours hazy amber with no head. Aroma of cream and toffee. Smooth medium body with bright, rather fizzy, carbonation. Extraordinary taste mixing tart, sweet and creamy. There’s a pleasant tartness throughout the palate. Toffee sweetness and creamy flavours present at the start subside a bit through the palate. There’s pastry in the finish. This is a very unusual beer. I am not sure I really like it. However I found it very compelling to keep tasting it to try to understand it. An enjoyable experience.

Bottle. Clear pale red with a white head that's soon at the rim. Aroma of strawberries and sweet cherries with some almond, light bread, oak. Sweet with fruit and peppery oak, grape skins and a suggestion of sourness. Perhaps misses a little bitterness (or more definite sourness) at the end. Good.

330ml can at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is big peaches. The flavour is moderate sour, light sweet, with a fresh, crisp, tart peach, light herbal, light sweet lactose finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not so sour and with hints of sweetness. I can understand why this might be a popular beer, but for me it’s just the one can.

Why do I keep buying cold IPAs? Aromas of biscuit, pepper and some citrus and sweet stone fruit notes. There's some tangerine in the mouth and it has a bit of a jammy palate. But generally, it just lacks complexity BECAUSE IT IS A COLD IPA. This is my fault. I knew this.

Orange can. Orange with a white head that quickly fizzes down to a cm. Aroma of oranges - some fresh peel, some boiled. Tastes of sweet oranges, mostly. With them there's a leanish bready pale malt and a little bitterness. Medium bodied, lower carbonation than it warrants. Needed to be drier to be refreshing - and without that there's no point to it.

440ml can from the Chuan Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is yeasty and big quince I presume. The flavour is moderate sour, with a fresh, light, crisp, yeasty, quince palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Light, fresh, crisp and very tasty, with most of the sourness coming from the yeast instead of the fruit, which is a pleasant change these days.

330ml can at the Chuan Bar, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a short-lived, big frizzy white head. The aroma is malt and piney hops. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, crisp, mineral, earthy, light dank, citrus, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Not so bad for a session beer.

Bottle. Very dark brown with a brief head that's never quite a coat. 3- Aroma is roasty with iodine, caught dark sugars, stewed red berries. Only a little sweet with roast and smoke like smoldering seaweed at the end of a beach bonfire. Bread and light spices, decisive bitterness. After a while, some oak. Maybe as much like a De Molen stout as this series has been. No overt booze but you know you're drinking it. Lovely stuff.

Pint on tap at The Catfish, Fitzroy. Amber beer with a thin white head, the occasional bubble makes an appearance. Aroma of 'Sunkist'. Good body, flat mouthfeel. Finish is fizzy orange with a touch of late yeasty dryness. Very nice, probably not a sessioner.

440ml can at the Beer Bank, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a mostly clear golden colour with a fizzy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is grainy malt, orange tangerine citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a fresh, smooth, juicy orange citrus, light herbal, piney, light floral woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Slightly better than the first version!
