The mixture is then gently mashed with a muddler. Hodgkin and Moominpappa meet the Joxter (Snufkin's father) and the Muddler (Sniff's father). The traditional Muddler uses brown mottled turkey quill segments for both tail and wing. Gold Muddler is a blonde ale that uses pale ale malt. Gold Muddler has a citrus aroma with a balanced bitterness. An unweighted Muddler will float and appears as a hopper, moth or struggling mouse. Whitlock's friend Joe Brooks suggested Whitlock use the Muddler Minnow as a hopper imitation instead.
