REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy orange into a pint glass. White head, some lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Lots of tropical (grapefruit, tangerine, mango). 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose, with some resiny notes also in there. Consistent tropical into the aftertaste, with mainly grapefruit. 4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. A few weeks after having Hazer Beam, I found and enjoyed another hazy brew from Barley Brown's. The tropical flavors are the star, and it goes down very easy. Barley Brown's makes kickass beer, and this is another great example. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.463/5
