old but yummy

 

Never have had such a bitter hazy. Way too hoppy for my liking. Tastes more like a traditional ipa, not NE style.

I was at Whole Foods when several customers purchased this beer saying they wanted to reward themselves with something great. I bought a $20 four back on that reaction alone and I am pleased. This is a great beer. It’s delightfully smooth, sweet and warm in it’s intoxication. I look forward to future purchases!

 

Canned 07/01/19

Appearance - Pours murky and straw yellow with a tinge of orange. White, finger width head that displays good retention before dying down to a thin, broken layer of suds. Minimal lacing, with a handful of broken lines and small spotting.

Smell - Citrusy aroma with some lesser tropical character and a touch of bready malt sweetness beneath.

Taste - Smacks with citrus notes of orange and lime while touches of melon and papaya come through by mid-taste. Finish ends with some lingering lime and faint tropical notes. No flavor really smacks you hard, but the depth in flavor is still there.

Mouthfeel - Medium in body with soft carbonation. Lightly creamy texture makes this a nice, smooth and damn easy drinker.

Overall - Moonraker still showing they have it despite losing their head brewer a few months back. This is a great NE-style IPA.

 

Sweet orange citrus hoppy aromatics here. Good, but I had to search for the notes a bit. Taste follows with a smooth and well-balanced citrus hoppy bitter finish. Soft with decent depth for a single. It's a little on the light side, but it works as it makes it very crushable. Enough depth and character to let you know it's quality, but light enough to be able to throw a couple back and still function!

This one is just good. It’s like Kate Upton baking an apple pie - yeah, I’ll have a slice of that. It’s tropical with an extremely smooth mouthfeel like Miranda Kerr chewing on a Tic Tac.

Yep!
