REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy peach-colored into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment at the bottom of the can. White head, some lacing. 4.25/5Smell (25%): Tons of citrus and stone fruit. Almost POG-like. Complementing oaty malts. Smells so innocent, not even close to 11%. 5/5
Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Abundant citrus and stone fruit from start to finish. More tropical into the aftertaste. Trace octane, but the tropical is the clear star and it's ridiculously drinkable. 4.75/5
Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied; some carbonation. Very juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5
Overall (20%): A world-class Triple IPA. Lives up to its name and then some. Makes me wonder if Guy Fieri has had this beer. If he loves IPAs, he will probably enjoy this one. Good price, considering it's a Triple IPA. Lots of thumbs up here, folks. 4.75/5
Final Weighted Rating: 4.763/5
