REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured clear dark golden into a cup. White head. Trace lacing at the top of the glass. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Balanced malt, tropical, and floral. 3.75/5

Taste (40%): Balanced malt, tropical, and grapefruit with some floral. All complement each other. Bitterness controlled nicely. Slight citrus on aftertaste. 3.75/5

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

Overall (20%): A decent IPA. I got this beer more for the name and the label than the actual beverage, for seemingly obvious reasons. The beer itself was a solid one, albeit nothing very memorable to me. Confirms the "problems" I face when having some other amazing beers set the standard. 3.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 3.825/5
