    Give me Hop Killah or Give Me Death! (as in, I love their WC stuff)...and their pale ales. The pale ales are the best.

    Why is that disappointing? Cellarmaker began making west coast IPAs, and they were incredible (Dank Williams, Dank Statement, etc.) Moonraker makes and cans west-coast IPAs frequently as well, which are also incredible.

    its disappointing because honestly moonrakers holy hermit and yojo/dojo are what puts them on the map for me. cellarmaker i love for various htings but i wish they would do my (and many's) favorite moonraker things in a collab with them

    Did you try December's Dojo? I hadn't been to Moonraker in a while, and I honestly didn't like most of their hazies this time around. Dojo in particular was more like WC. I wonder if their Assistant Brewer going to New Glory affected their quality.

    My favorite beers this time were actually Miss Conduct, which I'd never had... and Hopped Lucidity, their WCIPA. But Jingle Crush was pretty nice.

    The Holy Hermit may be my favorite beer from them, so I hope that beer hasn't been messed up.

    I get it. It's evident, however, that these brewers don't only want to make hazy IIPAs, and to make sure there is a nice variety for the public. Maybe next time around.

    Not to side track this CM thread..... but the January batch of Moonraker Atomic Betty DIPA was somewhat disappointing. Harsh yeast/hop bite right after canning on 1/5. It didn't mellow out for 3 weeks.

    The head Brewer Zach F is still there, so I think it may have just been a few rushed batches due to demand. Hopefully with the new expansion, they can dial it in. Holy Hermit was solid from what I heard this week.

    That is a bit of a side track :grin:.

    Turok Juice is on today. Definitely going to get a fill.

    Curious how this batch of Turok Juice compares to the last batch. Gonna try to make it tomorrow so hopefully it, along with today's bottles, are still available.

    Brain Skillzzz is yummy. About as tart as Lost Wisdom Batch 2, so less than recent ones, but more fruity. I pick up on a slight coconut note, probably from the foeder. Really nice balance.

    Turok Juice is 7.7 ABV compared to the previous 6.6! But still very juice bomb. I'm getting a growler!

    Maybe the collab for Moonrakers 2nd Anniv will scratch that itch then...crosses fingers

    Definitely my favorite from them, and the batch released last Friday tastes great!

    Higher ABV for the same price is fine with me. Hopefully growler fills last until noon tomorrow. I've seen batches of Dobis go from growler fills to only available for in house consumption faster than you'd think.

    Vanilla latte vastness holy cow. The recent vastness versions are back to their glory. Tastes like a boozy, coffee covered Oreo. Creamy mouthful.

    From Yakima with love its a juice bomb, just doesn't look the part. People skipping this are foolish.

    Talking a growler of Turok home so ill have to report later.

    Drinking my last Big Lots and shedding a tear. It somehow got even better, and frankly might be the best new beer I've had Electric Lettuce.

    I'm digging the aroma and flavor on From Yakama With Love ... but I am missing the carbonation. This felt undercarbonated when I cracked it open and became pretty flat halfway through. Anyone else experience something similar?
