REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Frothy white head and good lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus and passion fruit. Complementing yeast and malt akin to a New England-style IPA. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Tropical-forward, with passion fruit and tangerine on the back end. Good flavor from start to finish, but would like just a bit more. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. The flavor and appearance certainly suggest New England-style IPA, and it delivered on all fronts. A very drinkable beer that I would enjoy any time of the year. The usual price for a 16 oz can. 3 Magnets comes through with another tasty brew! 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.35/5
