REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured slightly hazy light golden into a pint glass. White head. Trace lacing at the top of the glass. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Dank with tropical citrus and stone fruit. 4/5

Taste (40%): Dank tropical at the start. Eventually gets fruitier and the aftertaste is mostly citrus. 4/5

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

Overall (20%): An awesome IPA. Back to the West Coast style for this one, and the flavor reminded me a lot of Block 15 Sticky Hands. Whomever thinks of the names for these beers must have really loved the Street Fighter series growing up. Panda totally approves the name. 4/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.0338/5
