REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered, sediment at the bottom of the can. Frothy white head, good lacing on the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Soft tropical passion fruit, orange, tangerine. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; the orange and tangerine are very assertive through the aftertaste. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; good carbonation. Very juicy with some dryness on the tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding to world-class IPA. The abundant citrus orange and tangerine was the absolute star here. Very enjoyable and refreshing. Two huge thumbs up. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.688/5
