REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered, some sediment at the bottom of the can. Frothy white head; trace lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing tropical stone fruit and passion fruit, with complementing oaty malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Soft tropical, a bit watered down, Possesses decent tropical notes with oaty and wheat malts. Some lemongrass comes in midway through and sticks around into the aftertaste, but complements the tropical all the way. 4/5

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

Overall (20%): An awesome to excellent IPA. Preferring the aroma over the taste on this one. Still, a very refreshing beer. ideal for warmer months. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.175/5
