Canned 11/22/19
Appearance - Pours hazy and orange in color with a white, finger width head. Fair retention results in a thin, broken layer of suds. Good lacing, with broken webbing, lines and small spotting.
Smell - Tropical aroma. Mellow. More guava and mango than anything. Lesser pineapple. Faint dankness as well.
Taste - Tropical and juicy (pineapple, guava, orange, mango), somewhat creamy, with hints of floral and dank character that touch mid-taste and continue through the finish.
Mouthfeel - Medium in body with fair carbonation. Soft, velvety texture lends to a damn smooth drink before a slightly dry finish.
Overall - Another banger from Moonraker. Tasty. Great texture. Mmmm

Sweet, tropical hoppy, whiff of dankness aromatics on this one! Taste follows with the tropical hoppiness and then a piney, dank balanced bitter finish. This is light to medium bodied for a dipa, but has nice mouthfeel. Good!

Yet another new solid DIPA hazy from MR. Taste and feel are at a nice level of hoppiness, not as intense/pungent as DDH offerings but definitely not light or lacking. Feel is pretty light & smooth for a DIPA. Overall, another confirmation of MR's status of one of the best hazy makers in NorCal behind maybe just Alvarado Street.

L: very vibrant yellow with slight foam and slight lacing, looks really tasty.
S: strong pineapple and citrus with some peach. Very small notes of the alcohol but definitely covered up by the frutiness.
T: great flavorful beer here. Pineapple, lemon and juice with that kick you want from a stronger IPA.
F: mouthfeel was a bit light and lacked some dryness and carbonation for my taste but still finished and felt great.
O: what can you say about MR? Amazing hazy beers and this does it great. Strong smells and amazing taste. Top notch DNEIPA.
