This is one groovy looking can. I'm not sure who the dude is that is supposed to be on what is either a satellite dish or some kind of planetoid, but the moon also seems to have a moon, and it can see Jupiter from where it is, and their other spherical heavenly bodies scattered about, and there are even some weird alien-looking creatures that reminded me of the pictures depicting what sea monkeys would look like before you would actually buy them and see that they were fairly innocuous and disappointing brine shrimp.
The beer pours with just a modicum of head, and the slightly hazy amber color is spot on for this type of ale. There is a little lacing left in the wake of the bubbles as they become a doughnut of small bubbles in the center of the beer. The aroma is the classic caramel malt with a whiff of barley that you would expect in an amber ale. This is pretty much just ticking off the check boxes.First sip is downright watery at first, but the sweet malt is backed with grains by the end. It's unbalanced and somewhat ungainly, but I can't say it's not easy to drink. Assuming the gulp is anything like the sip, this would be a very crushable beer. And, at 5.2% ABV, it's not necessarily going to hammer you after a few. The thing is, I expected something called Moon Biscuits to have a biscuit malt, and this is more of a traditional Amber malt. Maybe my taster is broken.
Tip-in is significant carbonation burn as the sweet caramel malt tries in vain to assert itself. The middle moves the carbonation to the back of the mouth while the grains subtly join the shrinking malt to leave a somewhat watery and generally tasteless center. The finish fills the nose with bitterness as a mustiness fills in where the malt should be and sends the mouth off on a not entirely pleasant trail off.
Bottom Line: Maybe this should have stayed on the moon?
1.75/5
