REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White to off-white head. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical (peach, mango, papaya, and apricot) with complementing creamy dank/resiny. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Creamy malt and dank to start, tropical stone fruit then swoops in. Aftertaste brings another wave of tropical, mixed with creamy dank/resin. Basically the same profile to me as Mystery Cloud, but more drinkable and less intense on the malt. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Silky, creamy, and juicy, with trace dry tongue afterwards. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An awesome to excellent IPA. Generally similar to Mystery Cloud released a month prior. but I think Glow Cloud is better. There is less malt here, allowing more of the tropical to shine. Glow Cloud also paired well with my spicy Mexican food. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.25/5
