REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered, sediment at the bottom of the can. Frothy white head, some lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Very tropical, tons of passion fruit, stone fruit, and tangerine. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Tons of tropical from start to finish. Creamy, pillowy complementing malt. Full of tropical flavor. Panda definitely approves. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Extremely juicy and creamy mouthfeel. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding to world-class IPA. This was among the best of the Revision Brewing hazy IPAs to date. right up there with Tahoe Haze. At 6.5%, truly a refreshing, tropical experience, and the creamy, malty notes played an excellent supporting role. An uplifting beer that is the epitome of the New England-style IPA. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.688/5
