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%): Dank forward, with tangy and sweet tropical. Pineapple, passion fruit, lime, and tangerine. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Tropical softens and the citrus shines more as the beer warms up. Lime very much present throughout. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent Double IPA. While initially more resinous and less tropical than most of the other Double IPAs I've had from Revision, the flavor got more mellow and tropical as time went on. Keep the hazy beers coming! 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.263/5
