REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. White head, good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical mango forward. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Soft tropical mango throughout with oaty notes. Low bitterness that comes from the citrus. Octane well hidden, unable to tell it is 8.5%. 4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Another quality hazy brew from Modern Times. Typical New England-style, from appearance to taste. It looks like this one was only on draft for a short time, so it's unknown if it will make another appearance. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.388/5
