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

Smell (25%): Lovely tropical creamy citrus orange. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Soft tropical citrus. Virtually zero bitterness. Trace resiny malt presence...basically there for a split second just to remind you it's a double IPA. Aftertaste includes soft orange and tangerine. Ridiculous how easy drinking this one is. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Extremely juicy. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): A world-class Double IPA. Shocking how easy drinking this double IPA was; it went down very quickly. This has been a crazy good run of beers I've had lately from Revision. The Citra, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops strike again! 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.713/5
