Assertively bitter and dry.
The grain stays in the background so every note the beer offers can come from the hops.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Moonwake IPA
◎ Appearance
Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving fine lacing on each sip. Effervescence is lively and sustained throughout.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes—lemon zest and grapefruit pith dominate, backed by clean noble hop character. Subtle herbal and floral undertones emerge as the beer warms. The malt base is restrained, contributing only a whisper of grain sweetness without interfering with hop expression.
◐ Taste
The palate delivers crisp, dry entry with immediate citrus intensity and moderate herbal bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. The 60 IBU integration is clean and well-defined—never harsh or astringent. Low malt sweetness allows hop complexity to remain the focal point, finishing with a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste.
◑ Finish
A short to medium-length finish with lingering citrus and gentle herbal notes. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, inviting another sip.
