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.

440ml can via Beer52: BB 30th September 2025, drank at home on 12th December 2024. Pale golden body, bright and clean, white crown. Easy going Helles, crisp and refreshing, slightly more hoppy than malty, nice balance between them.

[44cl can from Beer52.] A bright straw coloured pour with a loose white head; musty grain aroma; sweet cereal grain taste with a floral bitterness; and a sour grainy finish. This doesn’t remind me of a Helles.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of caramel and pine. Flavour of toffee and biscuit with a citrusy hop finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A solid effort at one of my favourite beer styles.

Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has a good minerally crispness. Light smooth malts that don't get in the way. Decent Nelson - huzzah, well decent by 2024 standards, a clear soft gooseberry. Light tangerine and a smorgasbord of very light but complex hop fruits on the back end. Modest bitter linger. Light cooling pine throughout. Nice clean tasty IPA.
