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. Almost clear gold. A white head fades fast. Aroma of spiced pine, grass, green berries, crackers. Dryish with not a lot to hold up the hops - perhaps in consequence the spicy and piney elements boss the fruity ones. I wouldn't describe it as juicy but that's OK. Crisp finish with modest bitterness. Good quaffer.

Rather Basic can design. Hazy orange with a small white head. Lots of ripe peach, perhaps popped on the grill for a little while. Old lemons , crackers and some twigs behind. Moderately sour, tastes as it smells. Dryish end. Could have done with a zestier or sourer top note, but another nice enough entry in this series.

Can. Very dark brown with a loose beige head that fades fast. Aroma of chocolate, biscuit and caramel. More convincing chocolate than an actual Tim Tam. Smooth textured with lactose reasonably obvious. There's a vein of caramel through it but like the normal version its strength is that it's not that sweet with nice chocolate running into decent bitterness at the end. Little hints of berries.

(Can) Pours hazy yellow with tiny white head. Pleasant aroma of lemon with notes of candy and pepper. Light body with lively carbonation. Pleasant refreshing taste. Plenty of lemon flavour with much tartness. Some peppery hop notes and a hint of biscuit malt. Pleasant, refreshing and easy drinking.

330ml can, shared with Blackhaddock at our rare country mega tasting. One of the not-so-rare countries, but it's a decent offering to break up the African adjunct lagers, hits the style well, good lime and nutty hints, creamy shades.
