REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Pours hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; some sediment at the bottom of the can. White head; trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Yet again, predominantly tropical citrus and stone fruit. Mostly orange and tangerine. Complementing oaty malt. Very similar to the Hoppiness Unlimited and Electric Lettuce. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Slight creamy malt and a tad citrus-bitter up front. Transitions to pleasing juicy tropical citrus and stone fruit. Citrus aftertaste that seems to travel back into the nostrils as you drink it. Very refreshing. 4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An outstanding Double IPA. Not as intense tropical as Hoppiness Unlimited or Electric Lettuce, but still a top-notch, refreshing NE-Style Double IPA here. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.525/5
