Yojo's double. This beer uses a propietary English yeast strain and is completely unfined and unfiltered; a juice bomb! This beer is hopped with Galaxy, Mosaic, Simcoe and Citra providing an immense apricot, peach and pineapple flavor with low bitterness.

Pours a thick cloudy stuff that looks like orange juice. The aroma is appealing, if you were about to take a sip of your OJ and Vodka. with total juice taste and an acidic finish. Very sweet, I mean really sweet. Moderately bitter and astringent aftertaste. I find it kind of disgusting , but as a fair reviewer it's just another average hazy IPA that some may find right in their groove.

Unfortunately this is yet another NEIPA, but labeled as an Imperial IPA. That's three hazies in a row from Moonraker that I wouldn't have bought if they were accurately described on the label. So I'm done with Moonraker.

A - Pours a cloudy bright golden orange with a thin white head. Light amount of soapy lacing.

S - Aroma is ripe mango, pineapple and peach.

T - The taste is mango, peach, pineapple, tangerine and a lingering dank hop bite in the finish.

M - Medium body with medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel with a nice crisp finish.

O - Really impressed by this. Big juicy tropical fruits with a nice resinous kick. Doesn’t drink like 8.4%.

Very cloudy pale orange with mildly creamy head and lacing. Tropical, citrusy notes of stone fruit and grapefruit, bit of dankness. Subtle tangy citrus notes, slightly tangy and dank. Mildly creamy feel, subtle alcohol presence, a juice like finish. Tasty.

Raul isn’t really into that karate stuff, you know? Like, Cobra Kai sounds more like something that might bite me (and a kink Raul is not). Still, Dojo comes strong like Alain Delon in any ending. It’s bright, on the level , and pops like a chipmunk on its favorite acorn.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and laces beautifully.

S: Ripe tropical and stone fruit dominates, some citrus, a touch of pine, biscuity slightly bready malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Tropical and stone fruit, mango, pineapple, apricot, peach, passion fruit, and a hint of papaya, resinous pine, citrus, tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit, a bit floral, faint bubblegum, biscuity slightly bready malt, and caramel sweetness. A touch of alcohol can poke through as it warms.

M: Medium to full body, slightly prickly moderate carbonation, yet soft on the palate.

O: While I might prefer the little brother, Yojo, I've gotta give this one its props. This one has been around for a little while and is one of the earliest examples of a NEDIPA that I knew of. It's take a while for me to get my hands on it because it still flies off the shelves.

On tap at The Wandering Tortoise in Phoenix, AZ.

This one pours a fairly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells like peach, pineapple, apricot, mango, and grapefruit.

This is probably one of the best hazy IPAs I've had from the West Coast, for sure. It has that super soft and creamy flavor you want from the best versions of this style. It's dripping with stone fruit and pineapple, with just a hint of floral and grapefruit bitterness.

This is light bodied, creamy, and crisp, with a great drinkability.

This is just a super satisfying IPA - it hits the spot when that's exactly what you want.

This is rustic juice! It tastes like a beer but feels like a fruit. I don’t know the masterminds behind this brew, but they are exceptionally brilliant.

L - 1.5 finger bright white, dense head atop a slightly cloudy, but mostly transluent dirty yellow body.

S - tangerine, sweet orange, grapefruit. Great nose!

T - tangerine all day! Orange, bitter grapefruit, sour lime, biscuity malt. Moderate bitterness. Low sweetness. Low booziness.

F - medium body and carb.

O - juicy is right. Wow.
