REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden-orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head with good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Blend of sweet citrus, pine, and other tropical fruit. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Aftertaste is sweet orange/tangerine. Extremely refreshing. Bitterness is low and kept in check well. 4.75/5

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

Overall (20%): An outstanding to world-class IPA. This may be one of my new favorites from Block 15. The right amount of hops and pine, and a big burst of citrus that permeates the mouth. Super refreshing. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.713/5
