REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. White head, trace lacing. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Abundant tropical citrus and stone fruit. Detecting tangerine and mango, with oaty notes. 4.75/5
Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Soft tropical forward, with citrus and stone fruit permeating the mouth well into the aftertaste. Feels like I'm drinking carbonated juice. Low bitterness. Extremely refreshing and pleasing. 4.75/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Very juicy on the tongue. 4.5/5
Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. Fraxos gets two massive thumbs up for its easy-drinking, tropical-forward experience. Bonus points for how smooth and how immensely tropical this beer gets. It is a New England-style IPA in appearance and flavor. Highly recommended. 4.75/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.7/5
