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.

Аромат сразу уходит в ыитрусовый и травяной хмель, что вообще не в стиль, хотя абсолютно везде указано как классический вайсбир. Бананов вообще нету, цвет чуть светлее чем обычно, пенка нормальная. Вкус в принципе такой же, много хмеля на первом плане, цитрусы, бананов очень мало, есть какие то другие фрукты. Как охмеленная пшеничка норм, но это не классика от слова совсем.

Очень приятный сюрприз. Прям пилось очень питко, прям максимально питко. Легкий лайм, легкая свежесть огурчиков. Прям очень приятное пиво. Освежает.

Google said that Bennetts Bar was busier than usual when I looked up its location... It wasn't wrong. I did manage to get the last bar stool available to sup this mostly hopped ale with a slight bit of rye.

One of those moments where you've only spent 2 seconds at the bar that has 22 choices and are asked what can I get you? I took my time and found a nice fizzed hoppy, slightly more fruity session in this one.

Rain affected day for the tourism, done a bit of that but time to bar hop for the rest of it, starting with a nice hoppy mildly fruity pale ale regular from Moonwake, which is at the other end of the tramlines that run in front of Jeremiah's Taproom where I'm drinking this one.

Can. Near clear gold beer, good size pale cream colour head. Airy palate, very light and fluffy, decent fine carbonation. Light pale malts, a nice light sweetness. Hops bring light cooling pine, a nice bright lemonade streak reminds that Lemondrop has to be one of the most underrated and underused hops around. Mild citrus from Columbus, Mosaic set well back and hardly noticeable. Trace of candy fruits. Airy finish. Really enjoyed this. Lemondrop elevating a clean brew. Nice one.
