REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Pours hazy golden-orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Frothy white head; good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Soft tropical sweet orange and passion fruit, with oaty malt notes. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Soft citrus to start, then blossoms with amazing orange and citrus peel on the senses. More citrus into the aftertaste. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; some carbonation. Very juicy. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. After the beer warmed up slightly, I really enjoyed the abundant citrus aromas and flavors. Here's to hoping I see more Horus IPAs come up my way! 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.5/5
