REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured clear golden into an IPA glass. Frothy white head, awesome lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Grapefruit and tangerine with complementing hoppy/slight malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Slight malt forward, with hoppy tangerine grapefruit and more citrus through the aftertaste. Extremely smooth and very drinkable. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Fairly juicy with virtually no dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding Double IPA. Chuck Morris basically roundhouse-kicked my palate in a good way. Lots of delicious citrus here and a wonderful go-to option any day of the week. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.6/5
