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.

Can thanks to Wes. Appearance - hazy amber. Decent white head. Nose - dank, light dishcloth, orange and lightly bready. Taste - orange and bready. Orange zest at the back. Palate - light bodied, zesty and balanced bitterness on the finish. Overall - not a huge amount of high notes but imminently drinkable.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours clear gold with a modest, foamy white head. Light sweet flavour, nice clean piney bitterness, sun-kissed pale malts, orange rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean, dry finish, piney bitterness, mellow rindy notes, low sweetness. Very drinkable stuff.

Looks like my idea of a perfect pint. Amber, thick white head. Light fruity aroma. Flavour has grapefruit, a bit of bitter citrus, hops. Quite light but very drinkable.

Very dark brown beer, thin tan head. Light malty smell. Flavour is malty too, a touch of chocolate, some hop. It's decent enough. A little thin.
