REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. White head. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Lots of tropical, including tangerine, pineapple, and grapefruit. Creamy feel on the nose, also smells pulpy in nature. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Very tropical from start to finish. Almost like drinking a carbonated fruit juice with resiny qualities. The flavor seems to dim slightly towards the end. Still, there is an unmistakable tropical aftertaste. Very refreshing. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; good carbonation. Extremely juicy on the tongue. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding to world-class IPA. Stormbreaker is hitting home runs with their hazy pale ales and hazy IPAs. Much like Fresh Hop Martell, I was sold on Son of Jango's big tropical presence. I rated Fresh Hop Martell higher because it's harder to get me to drink Pale Ales (as opposed to IPAs). Son of Jango gets two thumbs up from me. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.688/5
