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.

Pleasant grape fruit aroma. Pours a hazy golden with nice head and lacing. Nice balance of hops and citrus end notes without being overbearing. One of the better APAs I have had.

Ataraxia (160) - Massachusetts, USA - APR 8, 2013
Golden in color with a clean, frothy, white head. Some zesty hop aroma, flanked by lemon and coriander, and balanced with a decent malt backbone. Light sweetness, followed by a hint of bitterness in the finish. Crisp, smooth, and light-bodied. No alcohol presence, but very enjoyable to drink.

I like the no-coast theme and it comes through in the taste. Not bitter like the west coast not strong like the east coast. Good beer but still a little too tame for a pale ale. Very well balanced which makes this beer very good. I would highly recommend it.

As far as Pale Ales go, this one is top notch. As far as any beer goes, this is one of the best beers there is. The hops are in perfect balance, and the fresh, non-bitter aftertaste is as pleasant as the taste.

Bottle picked up in Madison, Wi. Pours a clear true amber colour with about a finger of white head and lots of spotty lacing. Nose is sweet citrus hop. Tastes thin, crisp, light malt and some citrus hop bitterness. Great brew.
