Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a light layer and leaves some nice lacing.
S: Zesty citrus, lively tropical and stone fruit, faintly floral, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Bright citrus, tangerine and lemon lime, tropical and stone fruit, mango, peach, apricot, and passion fruit, a touch grassy, biscuity malt, and a caramel sweetness.
M: On the lighter side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.
O: The Crush'd family has produced some of my favorite Moonraker beers so I've been wanting to try this one for a while, but until now it had eluded me. Like the rest of its family, this one nails its target as a super flavorful easy drinker. Probably not the most complex flavor profile and I could swear that the body on this one is a little lighter, but I'd happily load a cooler full for just about any occasion.

Taster at brewery. This one also resembles grapefruit juice. Aroma is citrus, lemon and some floral notes. Lightweight. Taste is citrus, tangy more than bitter.

Sweet orange-tangerine citrus and zesty citrus-dank nose on this one! Nice aromatics for a pale ale! Taste follows with a light and crisp, orange citrus hoppy bitter finish...nice and balanced between the sweet orange vibes and the mild hoppy bitterness. This is a tasty, lighter-bodied pale ale!

Pours a hazy yellow bordering on "bright". Soft 1/3" white head. Good retention for the amount of hops in here. Aroma is very nice, just pops hard on the sweet side of citrus. Tangerine and passion fruit I guess. The sweet ones, not the harsh bitter grapefruit so many go with.
Taste is so easy to bang. Soft like a pillow body, easy ABV, loads and loads of low bitterness high flavor citra hops. The acidity is super low too, which is basically what separates these guys from the Revisions of the world. Their flaked oats/wheat malt base is so smooth. These are continually going through different (better) label changes. I kind of liked the home printer feel to some of these the 1st year.
Where this gets difficult is the $4 a can price. Its a very good beer, but man, almost 4x the price of SNPA isn't going to make you an every day banger anytime soon, even though on its own, taste wise, would be sufficient to get into that territory.
