REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head; trace lacing at the top of the glass. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus and stone-fruit-forward. Complementing oaty malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Malt a bit more assertive towards the start, but otherwise tropical citrus all the way. Tangerine and grapefruit, with some stone fruit. Very refreshing and easy drinking. Aftertaste continues with the citrus. 4.5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied, some carbonation. Extremely juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding Double IPA. I felt this one had more of a tropical citrus experience (and less octane flavor) than Zodiak Multiverse, so it gets a slightly higher score from me. Delicious and certainly recommended. I still think the stated 100 IBU is a typo, probably should be more around 50-ish to me. But all subjective, I guess. 4.5/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.513/5
