Our flagship IPA uses Amarillo, Mosaic, Ekuanot, Loral and Simcoe hops to give you classic West Coast IPA flavors and a smooth hop bitterness. Notes of citrus, tropical fruit and blueberry, blend with a smooth mouthfeel and a touch of earthy notes accompanied by a rosy nose, 6.9%.

Sagittarius from Moonshot Brewing. 32 oz crowler received in BIF #15 Brewing, from @Woemad (05/04/22). Stored at reefer at 40 degrees after processing. Reviewed 10/04/22. Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
No date. Served at 42.4 degrees in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. Final temperature 48.7 degrees.
Appearance – 3.5
First pour – Pale Gold (SRM 4), clear.
Body – Pale gold (SRM 4), slightly hazy. When rear-lite, same.
Head – Large (Maximum 5 cm, aggressive center pour), floral white, low density, and average retention, diminishing to a 0.5 to 1.7 cm crown fed by weak carbonation and a thin, rocky cap. Looks like waves on a stormy sea. Small pieces of lacing remain as the level drops.
Lacing – One EKG band of tiny to small bubbles and many scattered islands of foam.
Aroma – 3.5 – Weak hops, no malt, no yeast.
Flavor – 3.5 – Follows nose. However, the hops are definitely spicier on the tongue than in the nose, delightfully so. No ethanol (6.9 % ABV according to what is written on the label in black marker) taste or aroma. Very weak gastric warming occurs. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl.
Palate – 3.5 – Medium, a little thicker than water, soft carbonation.
Final impression and summation: 3.5 Probably should be rated higher but crowlers do tend to degrade faster than cans, IMHO. Nearly a week old – couldn’t drink it sooner because of temporary medication. Nice flavor and mouthfeel, weak nose. Tasted sessionable until you stand up.
