Time for the first legitimate review from someone not just doling out perfect ratings to every beer ever rated (all of 1).

Pours a murked out dark orange. I dig the snowboard/ski imagery. 2/3" off white head. Big candied orange aroma. Reminds me of that oranges are orange beer from up the mountain. Just smells of exclusively oranges. Ok.

The taste is where I depart from my usual lavish praise for Moonraker. Its too sweet for my liking. Needs a bittering hop because the mouthfeel suffers from the same one trick pony trappings. Its tasting like lactose and oranges. It was ok in small doses, but I don't want to drink 16-64 oz of this in one sitting by any means.

So I mean, if you just want super sweet orange like juice, I guess this might be up your alley. I prefer Moonraker's hoppy beers, not their adjunct ipas. I presume this had Citra, but the orange addition totally was the entire show here. There's about as much chance of me liking a beer like this as a guy actually wanting to use the Pair app when requested by the town bike.

Heavily fruited with mandarin orange juice to make this a delicious beermosa, The hand selected Citra blends deliciously with the fruit to make this an extremely juicy IPA. So much juice you hardly taste the beer. Looks and tastes just like orange juice!
