The Malicious Moon is a 12% ABV quadruple IPA, created as a collaboration between Troon Brewing and Brujos Brewing. Despite its strength, this beer stands out for its exceptionally smooth, creamy texture and well-balanced profile that skillfully masks the high alcohol content.
The aroma and flavor are dominated by rich, fruity hop notes - pineapple, orange, peach, and subtle hints of white wine - complemented by a mild dank undertone that adds complexity. Remarkably drinkable for its intensity, The Malicious Moon features a dense, saturated body paired with bright fruitiness and a long-lasting, yet unobtrusive finish. It represents a blend of technical precision, pronounced hop character, and luxurious mouthfeel - a bold expression of the style that pushes boundaries while remaining polished and highly enjoyable.
