Moon Dog Old Mate: Your Dependable Best Friend in a Keg
In a world of fleeting trends and fussy flavours, sometimes you just want a beer you can count on. Say g'day to Old Mate, the classic American Pale Ale from Melbourne's own Moon Dog Craft Brewery. This isn't a beer that shouts for attention; it's the one that’s always there for you—reliable, refreshing, and downright delicious.
This is a heartfelt tribute to the timeless pale ales that built the craft beer scene. Brewed with a classic trio of American hops, Old Mate is a perfectly balanced, no-nonsense beer that's big on flavour and character. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser and the perfect keg to have on tap for any occasion.
Flavour Profile & The Experience
Tasting Notes
Pouring a brilliant golden amber, Old Mate greets you with a classic American Pale Ale aroma of fresh grapefruit, orange peel, and a wave of piney resin, courtesy of a generous helping of Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook hops. The first sip reveals a perfect harmony between hop and malt; a firm, satisfying bitterness with notes of citrus and pine is beautifully balanced by a solid backbone of biscuit and light caramel malts. It all finishes refreshingly bitter, crisp, and clean, inviting you back for another.
A True Aussie Classic
Old Mate is the beer you can bring to any party, the one that satisfies the die-hard craft fan and the newcomer alike. It’s a testament to the fact that you don’t need gimmicks when you have quality and balance. This is the keg you tap for a backyard barbie, to watch the footy with your mates, or to pair with a classic pub parma. It’s a proper pale ale, done right.
