COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
MoonShot is the first beer with Caffeine. Our patented process makes it possible for us to add caffeine without compromising the superior taste and smoothness of our premium beer. Caffeine makes MoonShot an uncommonly lively and social libation, as you will discover. Each bottle contains 45mg of natural caffeine.

Contract brewed for New Century Brewing first at Matt Brewery, Utica and since 2009 at Lion Brewery. Production stopped after caffeinated beers were banned.

Pure genius! This beer (which i thought was a pilsener not a pale lager?) tastes good, is easy to drink AND gives you a great vibe!!! I tried it a few weeks ago at a promo here in Boston and now I make sure i have a couple each night when i’m out. Fun Times!

It’s this simple: if you ever enjoyed the Drew Carey Show, you thought to yourself what it’d be like to drink caffeinated beer. This is such a beer.

It’s a good beer I give it an 8 on my scale. For a beer with caffeine its pretty good I am drinking it now so I got a boost and I got wonderlust in the fridge. I like its flavor for what it is not the rest of the caffeine drinks it’s a beer and I like drinks but not a six pack of sour pill drinks!

Sweet malt aroma with faint hint of hops. Gold color. Full creamy white head. Sweet malt flavor but not cloying. Very smooth body. Very easy drinking. This is a beer you could drink a lot of. For the style, this is actually very nice. For a style I don’t typically enjoy, this is pretty tasty. Contrary to the description above, this beer is still brewed. The label is different and it has 69mg of caffeine now.

UPDATED: NOV 7, 2004 My first new beer tatsed on my birthday! The night had already begun and I was feeling a little sluggish, but have one of these and you’re back in business with the caffeine. Light, refreshing, easy to drink and there’s a cute girl straddling a rocket on the label.

Notes of water and rice. Very little/almost no head. A little sweet kick in the after-taste. Surprisingly not too objectionable. With the caffeine this would be a great beirut beer. Wish I had known of it back then.

Had this one at a beer fest in Hull Mass. Has a clear light golden color. Aroma is of malts and hops. Taste is of sweeter malts, hops, and grain. Has a little bite in the end.

RSRIZZO (1634) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - DEC 2, 2007
Had this beer on 4/16/2006. Aroma has an almost dusty smell to it, reminds me of old dusty glass. Color is a bright clear gold with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is light, smooth and sweet. Starting with a light body it goes down easy with a smooth feel. Finish comes on with a light malt flavor that is mildly sweet then ends with a faint bitterness. Other then the aroma it is a nice well balanced Pilsner.
