Can. Pours milky golden yellow, small off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is dank, tropical, mango, melon, hint of cucumber. Flavor is light sweet, very light bitter. Medium body. Not bad for a Strata forward beer.

Can. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a nice juicy citrus with a bit of bitter citrus rind and some sweet grains supporting. Flavor has the same juicy and dank citrus with a bit of papaya and a hint of sweet grain backing.

16 oz. can. My 1st Moonraker. Aroma is the flavor. Flavor shows a lot of stone fruit, grapefruit, lychee in a wheat like body. Stern bitterness with a bone dry finish.

16oz can from Tavour. Very nice Imperial IPA - pretty hazy, juicy and strong. First thing I've been able to taste/smell since getting COVID - great stuff

Pours a hazy, soft banana yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is tropical fruit and citrus. Flavor is tropical fruit and citrus, with an unfortunate butterscotch aftertaste, as well as a nice pine/spruce hop finish. Soft mouthfeel. Drop that butterscotch and we've got something here...

16 oz. Aroma is pineapple, B.O., dank, guava, strawberry. All these diverse elements fade in and out, at times smelling not good at all to smelling amazing. Pours murky orange with a one finger off-white head that falls pretty quickly into a ring. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness with moderate sweetness; not as complex as the aroma. Very yeasty. Kind of a crazy beer, but it's pretty good.

Tap@The New Rbabarrab, Moonraker (TTO) (11/10/2020) - totally opaque yellow coloured pour with a white head. Medium sweet fruity with notes of melon, lychee, grapefruit and lemon with some residual citrus rindy bitterness, sweet soft malts, pillowy substantial mouthfeel and body, solid hoppy finish.
