COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Moon Man is a seriously cool cat. Always comfortable in his own skin, he never tries too hard. So cool we named our "no coast" pale ale after him. You hold a session beer with a bright bold blend of five hops that flirt obligingly with the smooth malty backside. Don’t let this one lay around it is brewed to be enjoyed today. Bold and engaging without pretense, because in Wisconsin you do not have to be extreme to be real. Just be.

Beautiful golden color. Nice aroma of floral hops. This beer has a very "wet taste" to it. Very refreshing. Damn tasty but mild IPA. Reminds me of New Belgium’s "Belgo". I wish New Glaurus would sell beer outside of WI. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I’m not picking up much in the citrus department as others have. For me, the primary note of this relatively thin pale ale is pine. It has a short, dry finish and the hops don’t wreck your palate.

12 oz thanks to Reynolds and his trader. Great citrusy hoppy aroma. Decent malt flavors. This is tasty wish it was available.

Citrus, floral, and grassy aroma. Golden, thin white head and mild lacing. Citrus, mild earthy, bread, lemon/grapefruit flavors. Full bodied and medium bitterness.

Too much hops for me, the aroma is a little strong with plenty of taste, but it is too fruity tasting.

Reviewed from notes (2010). A: Light golden body. Somewhat cloudy. Medium sized white head. Decent retention with some spotty lacing left on the sides of the glass. S: Fairly citric nose. Grapefruit, lemon and oranges. Malt comes through though. Very pleasant. T: A milder rendition of the notes from the nose. Again, grapefruit dominates, but the malt starts to make its presence known more. A bit too restrained when compared to what the nose leads on. M: Smooth, medium bodied with good, even carbonation. Slight bitterness in the finish is welcome.

12oz bottle. Wow this one slipped by me in ratings. Really good APA, super fresh hoppy taste. light crystal clear golden with a lasting white head. great looking brew. tight lean malt aroma with playful subtle hopping. simple well constructed pale malt body. very well balanced, hella sessionable. terribly under-rated.

Straw-color, decent head retention, nice citrusy-floral hops although little in the way of aroma. Finishes rather flat. Average, but could’ve been so much more.
