REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy orange into a tulip glass (chalice). White head, some lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Mostly tropical (grapefruit, peach, apricot), with some resiny and oaty notes. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Slightly oaty and resin forward, with tropical peach, grapefruit, and apricot. Aftertaste includes more oats and tropical grapefruit. Very slight octane, if any. 4/5

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

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. I thought Super Chill was a better beer than Chill Murray, as the oats here may have taken over a bit much for me. Still, the tropical came through, leading to a solid score. I look forward to the next beer in the series. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.113/5
