Description
Moonwake: “the moon’s reflection on a body of water” speaks to the brewery’s Leith Shore location, the importance of water as an ingredient, and our beer’s reflection of our collective experience.

Our beer is precision brewed with mindful intention on modern technology using quality ingredients.

Our founders started their beer careers on opposite sides of the world, Vinny in New Zealand and Fin in the UK. They bring over a decade of collective experience in brewing to Moonwake, for both of them brewing is their creative outlet.

Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Really enjoyable. Green, fruity and bitter. Well crafted. Super impressed with my first beer from these guys.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours crystal clear gold with a lasting, frothy white head - looks great. Lightly sweet with strong grassy bitterness, husky grains, dirty hay, dried biscuits. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Bitter finish, grassy, lightly earthy, sun-kissed pale grains, more hay. But the bitterness throws the balance off a little bit otherwise it’s quite nice.

Can thanks to Wes. Appearance - deep brown to black and opaque. Beige head. Nose - creamy milk chocolate going into dark chocolate. Taste - Flake, light roast and creamy. Palate - light bodied, creamy texture, then kinda falls off a cliff a wee bit. Overall - the nose made me expect more from the palate.
