On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a clear pale golden color with an off white head. The aroma is grainy with orange, grapefruit and melon. The flavor has a little toast and honey with spicy/dank hops. Lots of orange. Oily on the palate and toasty. Decent.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a crystal clear pale golden color with a white head. The aroma has a lot of grape with hints of melon and very light caramel. The flavor has more grapes, lightly toasted malt and hints of honey, grapefruit and orange. Low to medium spicy bitterness. Crisp on the palate. Pretty nice.

Can from Sean, five days old. Thanks for sharing! It pours a light hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some dank, pineapple, grapefruit and hints of lime and granny smith apple. The flavor is creamy with low bitterness and big melon and citrus. Not as dank or tropical as Yojo, so this one packs a little less of a hop punch. Still very bright and tasty.

Can from Sean, five days old. Thanks for sharing! It pours a sunburst yellow color with a white head. The aroma has some canteloupe, watermelon, honeydew and grapefruit. The flavor has a lot of the same. Melon, citrus grapefruit wtih super low bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel. Like a melon smoothie only with a fresh hop kick. Awesome stuff.

Pint can. Thanks, snuffy. The aroma is chock full of sweet pineapple juice hoppiness. Tons of wonderful tropical fruit with tangy citrus underneath. Delicate melon and tangerine. Some light raspberry and papaya. Mild, simple malt. Soft on the palate. Ultra crushable. Just nails the NEIPA execution. Taste has mild bitterness, just enough to clean things up in the finish with a long tangerine peel aftertaste. Pineapple and melon juice up front. No booze, no acetone, no flaws really at all. Glowy yellow orange color. Thick slightly off white head. This is an absolutely wonderful DIPA. One of the best >8% hoppy beers that I’ve had. Moonraker deserves way more love.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a clear light gold color with an off white head. The aroma is light and grainy with some pale malts, hints of honey and noble hop. The flavor is grainy with light honey, multigrain bread and earthy noble hops. Nice and creamy on the palate, yet it has a nice mouth feel. A pretty traditional take on the style. Well made. Don’t expect a hop bomb Blonde.

On draft at Caps & Taps. It pours a super hazy/cloudy pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma has intense weed and orange with a hint of earthy/sulfury onion. The flavor has weed with a little more orange and lemony citrus. Backgroud notes of melon and tropical fruit. Some spice from the hops. Low bitterness with some low levels of bready malt. Kind of chewy on the palate with a hint of astringency. A really good NE IPA. Similar to some of the Monkish stuff. My only complaint is that it could’ve had a fruitier aroma for the full effect.

Tap at Gourmet Haus. Sunset orange with white head. A little restrained on all fronts, with moderate tropical hop flavor.

Draft. It pours a golden orange color with an off white head. Seems a little on the dark side. The aroma has orange gummies and some tropical pineapple and mango notes. The flavor has flowers, pine and orange gummies. Some toasted malt in the background. A bit lackluster on the palate. It lacks the hop punch I was looking for, but the flavors are pretty much on point. Decent overall.

On draught at Ale Arsenal in San Carlos. Pours a golden-amber with moderate white head. Cracker malt that is a little syrupy for the lowish alcohol content. Hops are in the background. Everything is slightly above average here. Not bad.
