Dropped by the Port Pub to get a beer after the round and indeed, Moondance Lager was now being tapped.
Here is a quick amateur review:
Appearance:
A beautiful clear golden color with just the slightest touch of orange (ok, maybe that was the
influence of the first sun we've seen in weeks).Head:
Slight, tightly laced white head. Dissipated fairly quickly leaving little lacing on the glass.
Aroma:
Low, sweet malt with just a hint of spice (cinnamon).
Mouthfeel:
Light body. Just a little under carbonated, I mean it is the first day.
Flavor:
Good sweetness with a clean initial taste with little initial hop bitterness on tongue. The finish left a strong metallic bitterness on the roof of the mouth. Probably from the nobel hops but yet could also quickly turn butterscotch like.
Overall:
Well made and nice for a hot afternoon. For those that enjoy Euro Lagers, this will be a good beer. Get it while it is fresh. Not really my hop style, so we didn't leave with a growler.
