ASTRAL DIVE - MUNICHWINE
BY CYPHER BREWING CO
Astral Dive has surfaced. Big, bold, and built for the season. A collaboration with Reub Goldberg Brewing Machine for their Dark As - Dark Beer Festival. This one’s a big malty beer. We opted for a German lager strain for this beer. Using Moonlight German Lager Yeast (MOG‑203) from Mogwai Labs, a Bavarian heritage strain that promotes maltiness with a mild ester profile, the fermentation stays clean and refined while letting the malt complexity shine. On the nose, expect cocoa, dark chocolate, toffee apple, pear, maraschino cherry, and faint bit of banana. The palate is full-bodied with balanced bitterness, finishing with a slow, crisp snap that smooths out the ABV and draws you back in for another sip. Brewed with Voyager Craft Malt and hopped with Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Spalt Select, Astral Dive is a malt-driven journey with a clean finish.
