Moon Dog Bad Boy Bubbly Barley Champagne

Bad Boy Bubbly, inspired by the South Australian cult classic, is Moon Dog's attempt to fashion a beer that tastes like champagne. As for the beer, Moon Dog set out to achieve this goal via the use of the palest malt he could lay his hands on, sugar to achieve the desired ABV without too much body, a champagne yeast, Nelson Sauvin hops for their vinous quality, and popping a little of it into new Hungarian oak to lend it the little lactic kick you'd expect of a champagne. The result is a beer that looks like champagne (especially if served in a flute) with high carbonation and a fluffy white head, smells like a champagne (especially with that little lactic kick) and has champagne like qualities to its flavour too.
