Moon Juice was one of the first special beers we produced, and was brewed using a big whack of Nectaron, which back in 2022 was the brand new hype hop. In 2023 we brewed it again, and it was extremely popular, building on the success of the original brew. Now it's back, but this time SUPPED up with a refreshed label, and the precision of our bigger brew kit. Originally featuring all New Zealand hops, Motueka and Nectaron, this newer version takes advantage of the even newer and punchier variety of Azacca; Azacca CGX, alongside the biggest stars of the show; Motueka and Nectaron CRYO. It's an absolute creamer of an IPA, with some of the thickest hop aromas we've ever gotten from a Bluntrock beer. Thanks to the elite hop varieties, you can expect divine aromas of passionfruit, pineapple, and peach flesh, all rounded off with a pillow-soft body. This is another collaboration with our friends at Estuary Brewing Co - the first batch being brewed with them after Scott reached out to see if we wanted to do a collab while he was in Cornwall for a kitesurf demo at our local beach, Daymer Bay. With Hugo already being a kitesurfer, it was an easy yes, and the day naturally rolled into a pumping Taproom afterparty. 6.2%abv

Production
Syrah was planted over 16 years ago in the foothills of the Moncayo, 600-700m above sea level. The vines take full advantage of their position - limestone soil, sun and the Cierzo wind which blows from the north-west to freshen the grapes. The grapes are macerated for 4-5 days, and then fermentation takes place for 15-20 days in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. 60% remains in stainless steel, whilst the other 40% matures in new American oak for 12 months.

Tasting notes
Intense aromas of rpe black fruits, sweet blackcurrant with hints of coffee and warm vanilla. The palate has wild blackberries, toasty oak and black pepper notes - rich and powerful yet with good balancing acidity and a long serious finish.

Food match
Typically serve with roasted and grilled lamb or beef, but can also good with pork belly and duck.
