We took the juicy, Citra-laden wonder that is Booming Rollers and catapulted it to dizzying heights of dankness via a massive double dry-hopping with Citra, Motueka, Centennial, and Citra Cryo. The result is a staggeringly tasty liquid vortex of tropical delights with a delicate malt body and a sublimely refreshing, snappy bitterness to round the whole thing out. Its a glorious testament to excess, and you’ve been afforded the rare opportunity to experience it firsthand.

My first modern times beer. I see this brand a lot all over Southern California. It's a good beer. Just not entirely my style. Why do I keep buying IPA's? I guess since that is what the shelves are only lined with. It taste like bitter hops. It's got a ton of lacing and foam which I find awesome. It taste like sorta sour grapefruit. It's doing nothing wrong. I just wanted something different. It's a good example of the style. Refreshing and juicy.

At last! Like it says, I truly feel to been afforded the rare opportunity to try this one out - and not just because of the awesome 1 PT 3.2 FL.OZ can!
To be honest, I had a very few cases recently when I thought that the Modern Times beer that I was sipping lacked something... and I even felt bad about it because I just really liked the beers they make. Meedless to say, I was beginning to be worried when I chose this beer to drink today.
We bought this in Guam and it’s been waiting in the fridge for the right time, which obviously was now. It smelled like zesty grapefruits when I opened the can, but as I poured it out and have been drinking it, the aroma evolved into something more complex, something sweeter, like candied tropical fruits - and it was amazing! Something very intense and very fascinating, it was a great intriduction and also a great company to the beer, which also turned out to be awesome. Very fruity, very dank, still very balanced - very much UNLIKE your average IPA. Although it was hoppy but the hoppiness felt rather fruity. The beer didn’t feel heavy at all, was very drinkable and was very pleasant from the beginning to the end. It felt very good, very positive, very happy.
Altogether it made me very glad that I had it and reaffirmed that Modern Times is an excellent brewery that makes exceptional beers. Recommended if you can get your hands on it!

Modern Times Beer "Booming Rollers - Double Dry-Hopped"
19.2 fl. oz. can, "CANNED ON 09/25/2019 1306638" and sampled on 01/20/2020
$5.99 @ Roger Wilco, Pennsauken, NJ
Look: Very hazy golden body with an orange sheen beneath a standard sized head of off-white foam. Better than average head retention and lacing.
Smell: Mild citrus, very soft pine, and light floral notes over a basic, grainy malt base. Limited aroma considering it's "Double dry hopped".
Taste: Citrusy and sweet with bready malt and soft notes of orange, lime, grapefruit, and guava. The floral note remains, and there's a light touch of coconut as well. It's somewhat earthy and spicy in the finish. Balanced by a firm bitterness it finishes dry with the fruit and malt fading quickly.
Feel: Medium bodied and gently crisp.
Overall: Although this sample is a bit old it's still less than four month in, and I'm not sure what's "booming" or "rolling" here. It's fairly hoppy for an American pale ale, and it still cuts it as an IPA, although I'd expect more from a "double dry-hopped" IPA.

Picked up a stovepipe can from the Craft Beer Quick Stop 9-12-19 for $5.29. Canned on 8-14-19; consumed on 11-23-19.
Beer poured golden with a nice white head with the original pour.
Nose is nice, fresh guava, oranges, and kiwi are present.
Taste is guava and oranges integrating with a smaller pale malt body. Finishes with a nice hop bitterness along with a touch of pine and strawberries; 6/10 on my bitterness scale.
Mouthfeel is light bodied and very refreshing.
Overall a solid ipa from MT, a brewery that is very consistent quality wise.

Can poured into a Modern Times Beer glass
A: Pours slightly hazy golden orange amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and laces well.
S: Grassy, floral, citrus, light tropical fruit, earthy pine, biscuity bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Zesty citrus, lemon, lime, grapefruit, and tangerine, tropical fruit, mango, peach, apricot, passion fruit, and guava, resinous pine, underlying grassy herbal notes, biscuity bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: Good, just not as good as the original. For being double dry hopped the nose doesn't blow me away, plus the bitterness is more pronounced and feels a bit out of balance.
