Description
Moonshine Brewery has been established for over 20 years in the Cambridge area. In that time we have won numerous national and regional awards. Our beers are characterised by their clean, fresh taste which is thanks in no small part to the natural spring water that is used to make them.

Officially started brewing as Cambridge Moonshine Brewery in May 2004 using a 2½BBL self-built plant in the owners garage in Cambridge. The brewery moved to the current location during Summer 2008 at the same time upgrading to a 5BBL plant and changing its name to Moonshine Brewery.

Pigs Ear. Opaque black beer, no real head. Palate is light and dry. Sourish dark malt, subtle red wine. Mild lactose and some salt. Quite a dry finish. Not quite joined up and not much oak, but quite flavoursome.

33cl bottle from Pigs Ear 2012 drunk on train home. Thanks to Keen Massey for being such a good bloke. Mid hazy orange red deep amber colour. Lasting beige head. Strong syrupy big grapefruity hop on the aroma. The rich alcoholic grapefruit aroma reminds me of american dipa. Wow its even better in the mouth and swallow than the aroma. Its really good. Seriously is this was american this would be top 50. One of the best uk ipas i have had. Thats incredible. Just had Lovibonds Dirty 69 and it was arresting. This is incredible. Its a british dipa. Lovely. Dirty earthy finish. So how do i score this. Really good
