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.

Can into a solo cup showing hazy light orange with sparse white foam. The nose shows orange, pineapple, and guava. The palate is medium bodied and well carbonated. Strong flavors of pineapple, orange, guava, and passion fruit with a light malty sweetness. Barely any bitterness, drinks hazy and juicy.

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.

Light herbal and resin notes with hints of pine. Light cracker malt and wheat notes. Pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw color with a medium large to large, thick, pilllowy and frothy, white head that recedes slowly to a thin film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with some cracker malt notes and a bit of wheat. Medium bitterness with moderately strong hop flavors. Moderate hop flavors with lots of peach, pineapple and passion fruit. Light alcohol notes. Light herbal and resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a very nice IPA with solid hop notes. Lots of stone fruit and tropical fruit with some lighter resin and herbal notes. Light malt backbone. Very juicy.
