Moonshine
Orange peel and coriander seed give this round, silky witbier its lemon and orange, without the heaviness of wheat and without turning sweet. Mandarina Bavaria hops reinforce the lemony side; Pilsner, wheat and Carapils malts and a top-fermenting yeast supply the roundness. The name nods to illicit spirits of the Prohibition era and to the brewery's first beers, brewed in a cellar in Lausanne's Flon district.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Moonshine
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
