About this beer

Forbidden Root’s Night Moth is an oak-aged India Pale Ale weighing in at 7.2% ABV. The beer is described as having a passion rooted in flavor, and is brewed with a complex profile exhibiting notes of autumn and a subtle silkiness. The label artwork features a striking, detailed illustration of a moth against a dark background, invoking a nocturnal, slightly mysterious aesthetic; small text surrounding the moth details poetic imagery relating to the beer’s name and flavor. Despite being an IPA, the oak aging lends a smoothness and character that differentiates it from more aggressively hopped examples of the style.

The beer’s ingredients are not listed beyond the general style description, but the label emphasizes the use of oak to impart unique flavor notes. A small disclaimer on the label notes that the beer’s name, “Night Moth,” comes from a poem by Tony Fitzpatrick, who also created the artwork. It is intended to be enjoyed during autumn evenings, fitting the imagery and branding of the product.
