Aroma: 12/20
Off the bat, the nose is greeted with a hint of acetic acid, setting an interesting foundation for the beer. It’s not an unpleasant acidity, but rather, an intriguing one. Then, just when you think you’ve got the scent profile figured out, a woody aroma stealthily creeps in, accompanied by light notes of caramel malt for balance. Yes, Skyless Moon effortlessly weaves together multiple aromatic layers.
Appearance: 3/5
Moving on, its appearance is not to be ignored. The red hue bears a clearly noticeable and refreshing difference from the average beer. It invites both novice beer enthusiasts and seasoned connoisseurs to engage with it. The color promises a taste journey that is an out-of-the-world experience.
Flavor: 19/20
The flavor profile of the Skyless Moon follows through impressively on its aromatic promise. It features a smooth malt base that serves as an inviting opening act. Layered on top is a light acidity that brings the beer to life and keeps the palate engaged. But what’s particularly delightful is the lingering malt sweetness that counterbalances the crisp acidity. And what tops it all off are the light woody and earthy background flavors that leave you going for a second sip.
Mouthfeel: 5/5
The beer’s mouthfeel doesn’t disappoint either. There’s a lime acidity in each sip that is nicely tempered by a perceived sweetness. This sweetness does an excellent job of softening the acidic edge despite the actual dryness in the mouthfeel. It feels trim, yet forceful, delivering a pleasing texture that is pretty unforgettable.
