I guess they call this "Zam Bone" now. Eh.
Pours a cloudy and hazy yellow, 1/2" white head. Nice delicate tangerine like sweetness aroma, Citra hops no doubt. Pretty clean nose, not much competing with it.
Taste is one of the easiest going 8.5% beers around. Firm Simcoe bitterness is largely restrained in the mouth feel with the flaked wheat oat combo. To say this is good at hiding the alcohol is like saying a zamboni is good at smoothing over ice. Holy moly. I think the Simcoe and the flaked body are a great team. Sometimes I dock the mouth feel on these hazy ipas because it just comes off too wet, trubby and watery. Not here, Simcoe is a great counterbalance. Carbonation always spot on with Moonraker stuff. Good waves of orange and tangerine alternating bitter and sweet. You could drop a stone fruit reference if you wanted but it seems like tangerine like notes are the most pervasive. Really good stuff.

Pours a semi hazy golden straw yellow with a nice thick white head. Nose is loaded with tropical fruits, citrus and malt. Taste of Ripe mangos, peaches and grapefruit pith. A good bit of malt in there as well but well balanced. Mouthfeel is heavier than I would like boarderline oily but it is very smooth and I won't knock it much for that. Finishes semi wet.

On tap at Moonraker Brewing
A: Pours slightly hazy golden yellow with frothy off white head that settles to a thin layer and leaves some spotty lacing.
S: Massive tropical fruity with a citrus back, caramel sweetness, and bready malt.
T: Juicy tropical fruit and citrus, papaya dominates, mango, passion fruit, peach, tangerine, light malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation. Soft bitterness, but can get a bit syrupy.
O: Drinking this on the way home from a hockey tournament so it just feels appropriate. A bit on the sweet side, but still quite tasty.
