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. Cask. Clear amber beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Nice condition. Smooth light malts, nice light level of sweetness. Nicely integrated blackberry and orange peel. Mild floral flavour and red fruits. Pinch of spice. Not very saison like, but that is not a bad thing.

Pigs Ear. Cask. Clear reddish - amber beer, bubbly pale tan head. Palate is smooth and semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Malts bring mildly tangy caramel and creamy sweetness. Marmalade and ripe orange peel, slightly bitter. Smooth finish. A mellow and fullsome beer. Perhaps more of an amber ale than an ESB.
