REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy peach-colored into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment at the bottom of the can. White head, some lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Initially dank-forward with tropical in background. After warming up a bit, it's more tropical-forward, almost POG-like (passion fruit and guava mainly) with slight resinous notes. Oaty malt detected as well. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Slight dank-forward, but a boatload of tropical stone fruit and guava swoops in. Aftertaste is all tropical with a bit of citrus. Really has that POG-like flavor going. I'm a fan. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Creamy. Juicy with slight dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. 3 Magnets has released Woohoo! yet again with a different label than the last time I saw it. Big thumbs up for the POG-like flavor. Although my wallet did not take too kindly to the price tag, I had to get it for science anyway. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.463/5
