REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into a pint glass. White head, virtually no lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing tropical citrus and stone fruit blend. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; lovely fruity blend mixed with some hop citrus bitterness. Neither overpowers the other. Citrus aftertaste. Fairly clean IPA to me, and a delicious one. 4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. Not a lot of frills on this one, but a very delicious brew that hits all the proper citrus and hop notes. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.463/5
