REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head. Some lacing left on the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Passion fruit, orange, and guava (POG). Great use of the guava. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose, POG flavors from start to finish. Explosive tropical flavors and lots of flavor. 4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. In several beers I previously had that featured guava, that fruit overwhelmed the other ingredients. Not so here. It makes me want to enjoy this back in Hawaii somewhere. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.538/5
