NE DIPA - This mega juicy DIPA gets blasted with huge amounts of Citra and Amarillo hops that get layered over a bed of Golden Promis malt. Tons of mango, peach, papaya and floral hop flavors with a light/sweet graham cracker malt character.

16oz can pours with a totally opaque paper straw gold body that supports a thin white head. The aroma offers up mango, cantaloupe, guava, grapefruit and oat. The taste delivers a juicy and bitter blend of mango, cantaloupe, grapefruit and then some oat notes. To midway it picks up a sweet home note and tangy tangelo. This really comes together nicely. I could drink a ton of this.

Can poured into a snifter showing lightly filtered hazy yellow with thin translucent rims and sparse white foam. The nose shows a lot of adzuki malts. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. A lot of adzuki malts with a very sharp citric edge (most likely too many alpha acids) but surprisingly without any bitterness. Light flavors of pine resin with a mid-palate of light papaya. In general a bit too overhopped and not in a good way.

Can, shared by the Beertemple crew, thanks guys! Cloudy yellow golden color. White head. Aroma’s of sour fruit juice, citrus with some malt. Retronasal the malt is more pronounced, of course with the juiciness and citrus. Flavor is light malty sweet, juicy sour. Medium bodied. Sharp hop feeling. Moderate bitter and resinous finish. Awesome stuff.

Pint can. The beer is a medium yellow with some tan to it. Clouded through. Solid enough white head. A little lacing. Big melon in the aroma. Sweet pineapple, some mango, papaya, peach. Some mild sweet citrus underneath. A touch of sweet booziness. This one seems a bit stronger and sweeter than other Moonraker hops that I’ve tried so far. Taste has lots of nice hop flavor but again, it’s in the realm of sweet, overripe fruit. A little more body to it. Not as soft and easy to drink as YOJO or something. Enjoyable but not quite as much to my taste.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated April 12, 2017. Aroma is super hop forward and fruity. Lots of mango, papaya, orange, mandarin, tangerine, and peach with hints of melon. Light cracker malt notes with a bit of a white bread note as well. Hints of alcohol spice. Pours a fairly hazy, pale yellow-golden straw with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes slowly to a thin film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with a somewhat dry finish with a medium note of crackers with a light graham cracker note. Moderate bitterness with some light alcohol spice. Light oily, grassy note to the hops. Lots of mango, peach, tangerine and mandarin. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice IPA. So much hop flavor and aroma, but the flavor doesn’t really live up to the aroma and has a bit of a grassy, oily note to it.

Can. It pours a hazy orange color with an off white head. The aroma has apricots, peach and mango. A little dried fruit. The flavor is mostly apricot and peach with a little honey and low bitterness. Creamy on the palate. A top notch NE IPA.
