REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into a pint glass. White to off-white head, some lacing on the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus and pine, with complementing sweet malt notes. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Hop-forward to start, transitions into a more tropical and pine experience, with pleasing bitter tropical citrus and pine on the back end. Lots of flavor and very drinkable even when listed at around 9% ABV and 100+ IBU. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Slight bitterness lingers on the tongue, leads to a dry tongue. Still, good tropical ctirus. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent Double IPA. Crazy Horse brings an abundance of tropical flavor, and I'm a fan. Standard price for a double IPA, and yet another example of how the Pacific NW has so many options to choose from. Definitely recommended for West Coast Double IPA fans. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.475/5
