Moon Vega
Strong Ale 8 º
Moon Vega is a robust Strong Blonde Ale that elevates the accessible profile of a traditional blonde with significant strength and unique fermentation character. At 8% ABV, it provides a notable presence, while the use of white wine yeast introduces sophisticated vinous notes of white grape and stone fruit to the foundational grainy, bready barley malt base. Unfiltered and bottle-conditioned, the beer presents a rich, slightly hazy depth. The balance remains approachable but complex, merging the clean, honey-like sweetness of the malt with a delicate, dry wine-like finish and a warming, smooth mouthfeel that reflects its artisanal, strong nature.
Appearance. Deep gold (6 SRM) with a slight haze due to being unfiltered. Supports a medium-sized white head with fair to good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring a clean, grainy malt character with hints of bread and honey. Notable vinous esters of white grape, gooseberry, and light pear are present from the wine yeast, complemented by a low floral hop aroma.
Taste. Initial soft maltiness with flavors of bread and light toast. The mid-palate reveals a distinct vinous character with white wine fruitiness and a touch of grape-like acidity. Low to medium-low bitterness provides a gentle balance against the malt. The finish is medium-dry and clean, with a lingering warmth from the elevated alcohol content.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body, which is heavier than a standard version of this style. High carbonation from bottle conditioning provides a lively, scrubbing texture. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present without being hot or fusel.
