REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head; trace lacing at the top of the glass. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Good citrus and stone fruit, with wheat and oaty malt notes. 4.5/5
Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Soft tropical initially, when blossoms to a bigger tropical presence. Aftertaste is mostly citrus orange and tangerine. 4.5/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Creamy and very juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5
Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding IPA. Big fan of the tropical presence here, and some bonus points for the can design. Minnesota has some great breweries; this one is my first from Fair State Brewing. Looking forward to trying more in the future from them. 4.25/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.413/5
