What's on the Can/Website: "We all need a little help on the way, some support while briefly traveling through this world. More than a walking stick, the staff of Life lifts yer spirits with a blend of Mosaic, Equinox and CTZ hops over a pillowy malt base. Smooth yet packed full of hop flavah and aroma, this is the refreshing beverage to quaff on the journey to the promised land."

REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy golden orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment at the bottom of the can. White head, good lacing at the top of the glass. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Dank and hop-resinous forward. As it warms up, getting more tropical. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Slight dank forward, but transitions into soft citrus tropical afterward. Hint of tropical  on the aftertaste. 4.25/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, good carbonation. Very juicy with some dry tongue. 4.25/5

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. This one is much more dank and resinous compared with the other hazy beers in Revision's lineup. It otherwise stays consistent with their NE-style and isn't very bitter or hoppy. Good tropical flavor here. Definitely smells more dank than it tastes. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.263/5
