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

Smell (25%): Creamy sweet citrus tangerine, pineapple, and stone fruit. Some oaty malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Pulpy tropical and oaty malt to start. Tropical intensifies through the aftertaste, including assertive citrus tangerine. Aftertaste is pleasing citrus. No octane. 4.75/5

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

Overall (20%): An outstanding IPA. The brewery hit a big home run here with Arrow Sol. Lots of tropical citrus and extremely refreshing. A beer I could drink all day. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.625/5
