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.

Can. It pours a clear pale golden color with a frothy white head. The aroma has fruity mango, guava and lychee. Very lots of tropical fruit. The flavor is the same. Creamy passionfruit, lychee, peach and mango. Hint of citrusy lime. Clean on the palate. I guess you can make a juice bomb that isn’t hazy! Well done. Probably my second favorite of the anniversary beers after Electric Lettuce.

Can. It pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has bright passionfruit, mango and grapefruit. Hints of papaya. Very tropical. The flavor has the same tropical fruitiness, but also a hint of alcohol. A bit lighter and not as creamy as some of the best Moonraker hoppy beers. Overall, this was very nice, but a bit of a letdown since I loved the single version.

Growler pour. It pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. Lots of cantaloupe and honeydew on the nose. Huge melon. The flavor is pretty much the same with a hint of melon rind and bready malt. Light bodied and low bitterness. Refreshing.

On draft at Bottles in El Sobrante. It pours a very hazy yellow color with a creamy white head. The aroma has big notes of guava and melon. Watermelon, honeydew and guava. The flavor also has some light notes of watermelon, a little lime, honeydew and passionfruit. Somewhat watery on the palate compared to the others in this series with very light, prickly bitterness. Light carbonation. Drier and not quite as juicy in the finish as other Moonraker hoppy beers, but still great hop character and drinkability.

Pint can. Thanks, snuffy. The beer is a orangey, tannish yellow color. It’s nearly opaque with haze. White head. The aroma is full of sweet tropical fruit hop flavors. Pineapple, mango, guava, lemon, lime, coconut. Very mild malt character. The taste is on the sweeter side. Low to moderate bitterness at most. Easy to drink. Lots of hop flavor comes through. Big tangerine, pineapple, coconut. Some hop oiliness. A bit of body to it. Very nice.

Pint can. Thanks, snuffy. The beer is a light yellow gold color. Somewhat hazy. Medium-sized white head, some lacing. Nice aroma full of sweet fruity hop flavors. Tangerine, pineapple, kiwi, mango, grape, apricot. Trending toward overripe fruit territory but it’s delicate enough to avoid any cloying sweetness. Light simple malt sugariness. Moderately sweet in the taste. Lots of grape flavor with melon, pineapple, kiwi. A little bit of oiliness. Fairly light, at least for 8% abv. Very easy to drink. Good stuff.
