Doin' the Math
Moonraker Brewing Co.

Canned date is smudged, looks like 12/23/18

Appearance - Pours hazy and mellow orange in color with an off-white, near two-finger width head that displays fair retention before dissolving to a thin, broken layer of suds. Fair lacing, mostly consisting of broken lines and small spotting.

Smell - The aroma is citrusy with lesser pineapple and mango.

Taste - Follows the nose. Juicy with citrusy notes of orange, lesser grapefruit, pineapple and a touch of mango. Mild bready malt sweetness. Mango becomes a more prominent as it reaches the finish, leaving a mostly tropical aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Slick, slightly creamy texture before a slightly dry and boozy finish.

Overall - Classic Moonraker hazy double, but it's really nothing we haven't seen from them before, nor is it as smooth as some of their similar offerings. Tasty as hell, but all too familiar.

All juice and sweetnesd, no bitterness. Tongue stings/tingles from acidity and alcohol burn. Can was roughly 3 weeks old. Maybe if have liked it better 'green' with some hop burn...

Not the lowest rated beer from Moonraker for my palate and preferences, but it sure tried to hit that spot.

 

This hazy DIPA has a good, not great nose. A tropical citrus vibe to it. The taste follows, but has a lighter body than I prefer for a double. IBUs came thru on the finish...
