Moonraker Brewing Co.

On tap at the source- cloudyish golden orange with short white head leaving lasting lacing. Nose is sweet and citrusy with some resin notes. Taste follows with a mild bitterness lingering with some boozy warmth on the finish. Tasty!

 

 

 

L: Muddy hazy yellowish orange, you know by the look that something great is going to follow. Smaller foam but great lacing.
S: hints of lemon and citrus, melon (honeydew?), and just tropical fruitiness. I don't get the boozy smell that this is going to be a TNEIPA which is a nice change of pace.
T: taste certainly follows: lemony in a good way, juicy and slightly sweet, really amazing.
F: body is medium and oily with slight dryness and great on the finish.
O: a Moonraker and ASB collab I knew could not disappoint. This beer was phenomenal. A TNEIPA might be my favorite type of NE and this delivered on all levels. Amazing look, smell, taste and mouthfeel. I could crush these all day but know I'm drinking a finely crafted beer. This is definitely a top 10 for me.

I am usually not the biggest fan of TIPAs because they tend to be slightly boozy and a little syrupy as they warm up...not this one! Great aromatics...Sweet tropical hoppy, dank, citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with tropical citrus bitterness on the swallow...outstanding depth...soft feel. And the great thing about this is that it is not too boozy. Great!

Pours a hazy light orange with fine, soft foam.

Smell is juicy and sweet with notes of peaches and pineapple with a hint of grass.

Taste is sweet and juicy and pretty boozy. Notes of fruit punch, pineapple and dank melon. Mild bitterness.

Moutheel is medium, soft and oily, with good carbonation.

Overall, a very nice triple IPA, slightly milder than I thought it would be.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really stellar triple NEIPA, aroma & flavor is a perfect blend of citrus/tropical/stone fruits and danky/floral/weedy hop notes. Like a stronger, more amplified, and just overall better version of Electric Lettuce. Feel is smooth & creamy, medium, no bitterness or noticeable alcohol at all. Wouldn't mind a fuller body, but it's amazing as is. Had a few cans when it was released, best one was the last one I had 3 weeks out. Easily the best beer I've had from Moonraker, comparable to the best strong hazies around.
