REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy golden into a pint glass. Unfiltered, sediment at the bottom of the can. Off-white head, trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Hoppy stone fruit and other tropical notes. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Fairly assertive hop-forward experience, with good stone fruit and other tropical. Complementing malt. 4/5

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

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. Socks and Sandals was another beer I had at the Tualatin beer bar a while back. It didn't leave as much of a memorable experience that the S.M.A.C. Triple IPA did, but overall this one is a worthy option for hazy IPA science. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.1/5
