Commercial Description:
A mile from mainstream beers and made with organic ingrediants, this beer is full of hops. The initial fresh floral character complements the crisp, bitter finish and rich malt flavour. Here at the Brew Moon we take "hand-crafted" to new heights. Everything in our 600l microbrewery is done by hand with great care. Our beers are made naturally using age-old brewing techniques, malted grain, hops, yeast and good Canterbury water. This beer is not filtered or pasteurized - as a result there may be some sediment in the bottle - fear not! Yeast is good for you.

Blind tasting at Papsoe’s. Hazy, golden colour with a nice head. Aroma of fruit, some caramel and hints of paper. Flavour of hops, peach, and other ftuits. Ends up a little bitter and tasty.

Pours a clear light brown with an average off-white head and lacings. Malty caramel aromas with a hint of toffee in the backbone. Heavy hops aromas of Pine and flowers. Hints of plum too. Medium bodied. Bit above medium carbonation. Longish bitter finish with a hint of caramel. Very nice hopsprofile.

Bottle in Christchurch, New Zealand. Vibrant amber coloured beer with a very well hopped aroma and a nicely bitter and well hopped flavour. Overall a good IPA - well hopped indeed.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and grassy, but also with notes of malt in the back ground. The flavor is sweet grassy and hoppy combined with lighter notes of toffee and bisquits, leading to a dry and quite bitter finish. Thanks Papsoe for hauling this home to Denmark and sharing.

Hazy amber with medium white head. Sweet aroma with notes of grapefruit and hops. Sweet flavor that holds caramel, citrus and hoppy notes. Ends bitter.
