Our Tastes-- Side Project #22 Moonray

Moonray, labeled as a chocolate orange weizenbock and a pick up by Junk and donated to the cause is an oddity at best. I didn't even realize the name of the beer was hidden in the river! All I can say is Butch and Spike know how to spin a recipe for profit and I'm taking note. Pours an extremely particulate heavy orange/brown. Slight tan head dissipates quickly given the 8.43%abv (that's funny, btw) to yield a nose of light orange and cereal. Taste is more citrus throughout than the chocolate sprinkle on the back of the palate towards the end of the swallow. EtOH is noticeable on the whiff but creeps up on you as the bomber loses volume. I'd have it again, but not my favorite Side Project to date .
