"What do you get when you combine Dave Dobbyn and a popular Australian ice cream? A mildly witty name for a beer... a beer that's all about pineapple, creamy vanilla and lime - and that's the bottom lime - that makes us feel like there's a warm Moon Dog shining over our collective horizon. It's most certainly a splice of heaven." Blurb 2021
"Moon Dog Splice of Heaven is ostensibly an IPA, albeit an IPA that’s been fruitified with pineapple to assist the hops in creating a suitably Splice-like tropical character, and then ice creamified too. This was achieved via the addition of lactose, the milk sugar usually only seen in sweet stouts to give them a creamy sweetness. The lactose does that here too, creating a combination with the fruit and beer that might – like many things that come out of Moon Dog – sound like it should be hideous. But – like many things that come out of Moon Dog – it works, being not only remarkably Splice-like but rather drinkable too." Blurb 2015 |
