Review of Alesong Brewing & Blending Moondance
Initial Impressions
Just by looking at its description, you’re immediately intrigued – Moondance is aged in gin barrels and is infused with cucumber, lemon zest and butterfly pea flower. It’s an odd mix that leaves you wondering, but one that surprisingly works when combined by the magic that is Alesong Brewing & Blending.
The Aroma
Moondance holds a score of 12 out of 100 in its aroma. The first thing that hits you are the gin-like botanicals; they’re wild and alarmingly pleasant. Mingles of juniper, lime, cucumber, ginger root, oak, and black pepper waft through the air as the bottle is uncorked and the aroma leaves you wanting more. While it sounds weird, the blend works exceptionally well. The lime gives it a lively and youthful kick, all the while the cucumber roots it with a more grounded and earthly tone.
The Appearance
Scoring a 3 for appearance does not do justice to the contained beauty that is Alesong. It’s understated yet spoke volumes of the layered tastes within. In simple words, it’s a promise of an exotic experience.
The Flavor
The flavor score of 19 is a testament to the experience that is Moondance. The pointed acidity in the sip takes a sharp turn towards a lemon-herbal mix — a heady blend that will take you by surprise. But the instant lift is offered by the gin botanicals and juniper, turning the experience into something that is uniquely refreshing.
Mouthfeel
An important feature of any drink is how it feels in your mouth. Moondance gets 5 in this department. The splendid fusion of flavors coupled with the unique aroma enhances one’s mouthfeel. From the moment it touches your lips to when it trickles down your taste buds, Moondance is an absolute pleasure.
Verdict
The best part about Moondance is the blend. The fresh mix of cucumber, citrus zest, and juniper berry in the nose feels alive yet securely rooted. It’s an experience that everyone should try at least once, if not to be repeated. Alesong Brewing & Blending has truly outdone themselves with Moondance.
As we always say in our reviews, the final decision of whether to try a drink is always yours. But, in the case of Moondance by Alesong Brewing & Blending, we’re heavily tilted towards an emphatic “yes”. Cheers!
