Notes: Moonraker keeps it going with great beers. Plenty of fruity notes in here. Pineapple stands out to me but that’s common if pineapple is involved. It’s very drinkable and something I could drink all day.

Rating: 3.75/5
Notes: This was a good one but not my favorite of the dhop series of beers coming from Equilibrium. It had the hazy down but it was just mediocre in turns of uniqueness and amount it stands out.
Can art:. Same dHop can as always. Not very unique or different.
