REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. Frothy white head; trace lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Assertive tangerine and other citrus, with complementing oaty malt. 5/5

Taste (40%): Pleasing sweet citrus to start. Burst of tangerine and other citrus from start to finish. More citrus orange and tangerine on the aftertaste. 5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Slightly velvety and extremely juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. Oh, do I wish I bought a few 4-packs of this one. Amazing citrus all the way. Insanely refreshing and exactly what I want in a good hazy IPA. My wallet probably would be the only one complaining. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.75/5
