REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Some white head; good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): tropical peach, mango and other stone fruit. Very inviting 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; tropical fruit-forward with some oaty notes akin to a New England-style beer. Aftertaste has more stone fruit. Refreshing. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. Culmination has released some very good hazy beers over the past year, and add this one to the list. For me, it was probably the best of the bunch that I've had, as this brought more tropical, dialed back on any dankness, and was simply refreshing. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.45/5
