Moon Shot
Left Field Brewery

 

 

 

 

Can: Poured a slightly hazy golden color ale with a large pure whiote foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrus notes with some pineapple with floral undertones and light bitterness. Taste is a mix of citrus notes with some pineapple and floral undertones with some light bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Nice mix of old school IIPA with some more juicy notes with some light bitterness.

Pours orange with a small head that eventually dissipates. The nose is of citrus, but unfortunately also metal and petroleum. The taste is way off for me, but then again Cryo anything seems to be off putting.
This tastes of dill and lemon grass, which is not in itself bad, but there is not much else to point at in here. Drinkable fare, but mostly meh.
I am beginning to realize that perhaps Left Field simply can't produce grade A IPAs.

 

Pours dark orange with a rocky, giant head that lasts the whole glass, draping it with lace. Orange, grapefruit, stone fruit and spicy hops in the nose. The taste is hop forward with a wall of citrusy, tropical hops and a subdued bready malt accompaniment. Some vegetal notes in the back. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation. High bitterness and plenty of residual maltiness in the finish.

A solid DIPA. Worth a try.

355 ml can served cold into a pint glass. LCBO purchase for $3.95 CDN. Can't make out the canning date.

Appearance - Hazy rich dark golden brew with a tiny bit of sediment. A finger plus of fluffy white head is poured. Good head retention and a small swath of lacing sticks to the glass.

Smell - Lychee mostly, hints of melon and mango and maybe a trace bit of coconut. Intensely fruity with an ice floral bouquet lingering in the background.

Taste - Pretty juicy and quite sweet. Candied pineapple and melon here, with a bit of mango and lychee for good measure. A hint of bitterness at the end but this is a sweet juice bomb.

Mouthfeel - Modest carbonation, booze is well disguised, body is full and a bit sticky like fruit juices left just a bit too long.

Overall - Another impressive DIPA from Left Field, Good flavors and great aromas, but the sweetness makes this one just a bit to much to handle more than one of. Still well worth a try especially if very fresh.
