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.

The sediment sold it and the taste piqued my interest. A bit more carbonated than i was prepared for but a fine beer nonetheless.

One of my favourite New Zealand IPA’s. Great hop dominance, without being unbalanced. Recommended.

Notes from my beer tasting night say that is pours a reddish brown colour, slightly cloudy from the yeast. Caramel, cereal, passionfruit, pine and grapefruit on the nose, classy hop attack. Soft and full in the mouth with a lasting bitterness. Nice

Bottle. Pours copper with a medium beige head. Aroma of caramel, grapefruit, lychee citrus and pine - a big floral nose. The flavour is caramel, grapefruit and citrus. Good bitterness. Dry finish. A well balanced beer.

Tasted at Tonic in Dunedin. Floral, yeasty and hoppy nose. Very aromatic, lovely. Flavours are nice and hoppy with a nice bitterness that lasts to the finish. Some rather unusual flavours that I can’t really pin down. Quite awesome.

Pours a bright burnt orange with a thick creamy off-white head showing great retention and leaving delicate lace. Enticing fruity hop aroma, sweet plums and berries. Delicious sweet malt compliments the lovely gentle fruity hops. The finish is only moderately bitter. This beer does not meet the traditional nor contemporary expectations of an IPA (it is not aggressively hopped, nor is it higher ABV), but it is a truly delicious beer nonetheless. I will be having this again!

Hazy amber beer w off white head. Malty, floral aroma of hops, caramel and citrus. Flavour is dominantly bitter with little sweetness. Short bitter finish. Guess it is ok for one more :-)

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy golden with an off-white head. Fruity aroma – plums and peaches. Medium body with fairly sweet accents of exotic fruit and a whiff of caramel. Dry and lightly hoppy finish. Very quaffable but perhaps not the world’s most distinct IPA. 250308
