REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden-light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head. Some lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): As advertised, a blend of pine, stone fruit, and bubblegum. Was more puzzled than anything else. 3.75/5

Taste (40%): Much better on taste than aroma. Tropical and piney stand out with oaty notes. Aftertaste features soft citrus and stone fruit. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): A decent IPA. I missed version 2 of this, but managed to get my hands on version 3. For me, I prefer the first version so far. The bubblegum part on the nose threw me for a loop. Good job on the tropical nonetheless. 3.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.038/5
