Another one from September 2019.

Pours a cloudy yellow. I dig the pop culture reference, that's worth .25 in the appearance. The aroma is all about that tropical citrus weed jam band. Zeus, Mosaic, Citra and Amarillo are the gauntlet run of aroma hops (apologies to Nelson who doesn't always play nice with others when he is available) and its a veritable force to say the least.

Taste was juicy as the kids say. So much pineapple, guava, lemon, tangerine, orange, indica going on here. Mouth feel as such that you can't believe this is 8%, but its pretty common these days for the dipas from Moonraker to be crushable like a 5% pale ale. Light vegetal green burn and bitterness to it, relatively easy peasy to swallow. Its a pillowy body, but the light bitterness and burn actually pair nicely with it from becoming too trubbed out and juice pouch-ish.

I haven't seen it in 2 years, make me wonder if they got a letter from someone. I think it was $4-5 a can.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass

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

S: Tons of tropical and stone fruit, solid hit of citrus, some pine, floral notes, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

T: Tropical and stone fruit, passion fruit, pineapple, apricot, mango, nectarine, and a faint hint of melon, big citrus, orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit, floral notes, spicy pine, bubble gum, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate, just a touch of hop burn.

O: I'm all about this one. Super juicy, yet well balanced.

Walking on a cloud while dreaming of dreams, I feel supreme. It’s almost as if I had her; more than in my life, more than just in my thoughts... in my body. Her. I love her. To want her... Can I? Will I? Is she even real? I’ll continue to drink and I’ll continue to dream. I will continue to drink and I will continue to dream.

 

super fruity and tropical!!!! awesome!

 

 

Canned date of 08/21/19

Appearance - Pours murky and mellow orange with a white, frothy two-finger width head. Great retention before dying son to a thin, consistent layer of suds. Good alcing with broken webbing, lines and small spotting.

Smell - Strong tropical aroma. Notes of guava, pineapple, passionfruit, melon and a bit of orange.

Taste - Follows the nose. Mellow but deep, tropical juiciness. Guava, passionfruit, melon, lesser pineapple and orange. Finish is a culmination of that juiciness, with a hint pith and acidity lingering in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel - On the fuller side of medium-bodied with fair carbonation. Creamy, coating mouthfeel before a smooth, easy finish.

Overall - Damn good hazy imperial. A bit more 'pineapple bite' and it'd be darn near perfect, IMO.

Sweet tropical hoppy, orange-tangerine citrus, and mosaic dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a slightly malty, tropical hoppy, and orange-grapefruit citrus bitter finish. This is more medium-bodied, but still has a softness to it. This is good stuff!
