Green Curtain
Moonraker Brewing Co.

Pours yellow, blurs the line between hazy and cloudy. Pours a dull light amber through dark gold color scheme. I like the relatively simplistic can design. How did Yello's Oh Yeah ever make it on the radio? This does have a green nose on it, you'd think almost Sabro, but no. Not here. But there is plenty of El Dorado, Nelson, Citra and Strata going on here and it is evocative of the 'green' namesake. Citrus floral blossom groves seem abundant. Nelson actually for once plays a supporting role instead of just plowing through everything else and making it dependent on itself.

Taste is plenty bitter, one of the most bitter hazy ipas, but don't think that is a knock on this beer, it isn't, might even be better for it. The taste and mouth feel definitely have a green vibe to it. Underripe orange, pineapple, guava, weed. The hop variety really brings a bunch of different aspects together.

I'm getting real tired of all these breweries in this area putting out really good beers. Fail at something already.

Poured into a tulip glass. A very hazy bright yellow color with a medium white head. Pineapple and other tropical notes on the aroma along with earthy notes. A bit restrained considering the freshness of the can. Taste was rich and tropical as expected. Mango, pineapple, and berries. Very soft feel. Outstanding.

 

Sweet cotton candy, tropical hoppy, and subtly dank nose on this one! Taste follows with sweet citrus and piney-dank finish. This is very well-balanced between the hops with Nelson playing a unifying role. This has outstanding mouthfeel for single! Great!
