Beer Review, Great Lakes Moondog ESB


Just some quick notes on Great Lakes Moondog ESB.

Had it at Lucky's Grille and Billiards. It poured a light yellow, that held decent lace on a cold glass. It smelled slightly vegetable-y; but I think that was due to the cleaning of the glass; as the next beer (Elliot Ness) had the same vegetable (celery? broccoli?) smell. The fell was mostly just of fizz.

The taste was just slightly bitter, and that's about it. Mostly the flavor was overpowered by the vegetable smell. It definitely had a crisp finish and was slightly tart. The entire experience, wasn't unpleasant, but with better presentation, in a not frozen glass that could probably be cleaner, this would be a good/better beer.

Funny, all Great Lakes beers have this on the side.

In keeping with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516, this beer is traditionally brewed from all natural ingredients: barley, hops, yeast and water. No chemicals or preservatives are used.
If they were keeping with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516, then no yeast would be used.
