What's on the Can/Website: "Hovering in the air like aromatic alien spacecraft emissions, the smell of tasty hops hits the nose first, then moves to the brain with sensory input. Inhaling with your nose in a glass of this brew is like a hot box of odiferous delight. Ripe orange, tangerine, mango and a pinch of pine aromas brought to you by Mosaic, Motueka, Galaxy, and the artist formerly known as Equinox."

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%): Tons of orange, tangerine, mango, and other tropical. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Tons of tropical from start to finish. Soft and pillowy, yet somehow assertive and permeating tropical everywhere. Complementing malt. Full of tropical flavor. 4.75/5

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

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. As amazing as other beers have been in the hazy series have been (i.e. Tahoe Haze, Smoke & Mirrors, and Planetary Fog), this one appeared to surpass those. Perhaps just a shade beneath The Bruff for me. It gets extremely tough to pick a favorite after I've had so many, and sometimes, it just depends on the day and the batch. Refreshing and a must-get for New England-style IPA fans. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.738/5
