Can on the Brizzle Boost Train, thanks to LKS. It pours cloudy greenish yellow with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, bright, juicy, peach, mango, bubblegum and candy. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter pithy, chalky, pine needles, floury bread, grass, soda water, green, weedy, grapefruit and some light astringency. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Not bad.

Can shared on the train. Thanks to Ryan and Gabi! Pours hazy yellow with a creamy, white head. Nice aroma, plenty of pithy lemon, some grapefruit, papaya. Light-medium sweet flavour with a decent pale malt base, juicy citrus fruits, melon. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with moderate sweetness, low bitterness, more pale bread, ripening lemon. Good stuff overall.

Dan's Stag. Train rate. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Funky 70s wallpaper design! Hazy yellow - gold beer, yellowish pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, good fine carbonation. Airy light malts, nice light sweetness. Good hop spice into decent pine. Tingling citrus into a litte mango led tropical fruits. Light fruity spicy finish. Spicy linger. Easy drinking DIPA.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Juicy tropical fruits aroma. Med plus body. Flavor is very tropical - seems to have a mix of mango/passionfruit/citrus -perhaps even pineapple. It’s somewhat juicy; dryish xpt for juicy; hoppy; wonderfully bitter. Lush. Amazing flavor.

Poured from a 16 oz can. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of tropical fruit balanced by a light dank and woodsy note and some light citrus. Medium light grain notes. Tropical fruit is mango, passion fruit and guava. Pours a very hazy, slightly dull, golden orange with a medium large, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to the edges where it lingers. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor has a medium sweetness with light grain notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol spice. Moderately strong hop profile with mango, passion fruit, guava, grapefruit, orange and and woodsy, dank resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low, but present alcohol warmth. Overall, another nice DIPA from Moonraker. Very juicy and hop forward with some dank notes to balance out the fruity hop notes. Balanced malt backbone that adds some sweetness without muddling the beer.

16oz can pours with a nice dark chocolate colored body that supports a thin light mocha head. The aroma offers up sweetened dark roasted malts, chocolate, tangy lactose and some milk chocolate. The taste begins smooth and sweet with malt sweetened dark roasted malts and chocolate malts. It then picks up thin molasses sweetness and a light tangy lactose sensation. Solid milk stout with a wide load of richness for a 5.5% beer.
