REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured clear copper into a pint glass. Off-white head, some lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical berry and grape, blended with some malty notes and trace floral. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose; explosive blend of grape and complementing malt. Trace floral. Fruitiness still the star throughout. Grape and citrus bitterness on aftertaste. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent Double IPA. I'm a fan of the fruity flavors here and the additional citrus on the aftertaste. Refreshing and delicious. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.275/5
