That light at the end of the tunnel illuminates your journey. Ours started with the rawest form of an untraditional Best Bitter. Today we find ourselves setting off in a new direction that is even more welcoming, like a pub fire after a long walk.

There's only one true origin of pale ales and India pale ales - England. English pale ales and IPAs were created to be elegant, smooth, delicious, and able to survive a long journey.

This one is fantastic and completely true to the style. With its gorgeous rich gold color, this naturally hazy EPA is rich yet refined in both its flavor and its aroma. Pleasant mild bitterness at the end, making you want to take another sip. Happy to oblige!

On tap at Beer Witch in Brooklyn, NY.

This one pours a golden yellow color, with a tight head, and some nice lacing. In a dumpled mug, this is a very pretty beer.

This smells like peppery hops, with some pear skin, grassy spice, tea, and honey-drizzled biscuits.

Landlord is an excellent beer, and a fine beer to live up to. This comes decently close, with a really nice hop character – peppery, spicy, slightly fruity, and with that classic herbal tea-like vibe. The maltiness is quite biscuity with just a touch of sweetness.

This is very well balanced and very tasty, with a great drinkability.

I would most certainly like to try more from Moor, please.

Variation, you know? Just because your man is in hop and hottie heaven (Southern California), it doesn’t mean that he has to smash IPA’s and beach babes everyday. I mean, hipster chicks need some love too! And, uh, yeah… not blasting your palate with the same shit isn’t fun either. So here I am. With this beer. And tonight, Tiffany from Newport Beach isn’t on my mind either… hehehhehehehe

Had on cask. Partially cloudy orange appearance complete with a finger of white foam and plenty of spotted lacing. Smells of mild malts with earth and weedy hops. Taste is much the same, hint of orange slice linger. Hops are strong for style throwing the balance off a bit, but still sessionable and smooth.

Can conditioned. Light amber. Slight haze. Thin frothy head.
Earthy English hops rise from the surface followed by a light caramel aroma.
Balanced taste which follows the smell. A nutty flavour is present.
Soft cask conditioned feel.
One of the best of Moors cask like English beers in a can so far.
