Poured from a 16 oz can dated 12/08/2016. Aroma is very hop forward with some light cracker malt and wheat notes in the background. Light citrus notes with orange and tangerine. Moderately strong tropical fruit with mango, guava and melon. Some light stone fruit notes as well. Hints of dank, resinous notes. Pours a hazy, pale, yellow-gold straw color with a medium large, thick, frothy, white head that recedes slowly to the edges where it lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with some light cracker notes and a hint of wheat. Medium bitterness. Moderate citrus notes with orange and tangerine. Moderate tropical fruit, but lighter than in the aroma with a bit of mango and guava. Light stone fruit and light resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly creamy with moderate carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, another very nice IPA from Moonraker. The hop aroma is amazing and super fruity. Nice hop flavors as well. Bitterness and malt profile is balanced and present in the background.

Pint can. Thanks, snuffy. The beer is a pale yellow. Very hazy. Solid enough white head. Big melon and pepper in the aroma. Interesting mix of sweet, light hop fruitiness with earthier spice. Kiwi, pineapple, mild tangerine, a little lemon, some grass. The hop flavor just doesn’t have enough juicy body for me. I think I’m not a huge fan of Equinox. Moderate bitterness. Lots of hop flavor comes through. Very mild crackery malt base. Soft feel with mild astringency in the finish. Very solid but not my favorite hop flavor.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a super hazy/cloudy pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma has intense weed and orange with a hint of earthy/sulfury onion. The flavor has weed with a little more orange and lemony citrus. Backgroud notes of melon and tropical fruit. Some spice from the hops. Low bitterness with some low levels of bready malt. Kind of chewy on the palate with a hint of astringency. A really good NE IPA. Similar to some of the Monkish stuff. My only complaint is that it could’ve had a fruitier aroma for the full effect.
