REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Some white head. Good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus orange, passion fruit, and stone fruit. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Tropical-forward, with passion fruit and citrus on the back end. Delicious, yet straightforward and nothing real memorable. 4/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Juicy on the tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. Another tasty New England-style IPA has graced the Pacific NW. Another very drinkable beer with great tropical presence. I wish I could have gotten my hands on a few cans. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.138/5
