Alright, looks like we're up to the 6th beer of a 6 beer flight at Moonraker. Been busy, took awhile to get these uploaded this week. Anyways, here comes the standard hazy yellow with a head that goes from 1/3" to a thin white ring by the time I hit it 'em up like Tupac. Has a citrusy aroma with a Nelson imprint on it, giving it that humid dankness on top of some orange and grapefruit notes.

Taste has a higher level of bitterness than your average beer this cloudy (get it). I like it, not all low carbonation flakey oats dominant, you kind of get a hybrid type of feel and approach to it. I'd definitely buy a 4 pack of this if the timing was right. Hops keep on popping, and its a more restrained amount of alcohol than most of their beers. Body is thin, aroma is thick, just like a girl with fakes.

Oh wow, they canned this before? Missed that release (although I only hit this place up about a half dozen times a year when passing through).

edit: Previous score was 3.92; then I got a 4 pack of cans. Gonna average it out now after 5 servings in total. Sticker on the stop sign at the courthouse parking lot.

Had this on tap at Moonraker Brewing. A very good Juicy IPA that is my third favorite at Moonraker behind Yojo and Electric Lettuce...A very good, tropical, fruity IPA that is a little lighter than most of the hazy IPAs at Moonraker, but hits the spot. Would be a great hazy offering at a party where you could have two and not feel like you have had a bit too much!
