REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light golden-orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. Frothy white head. Some lacing at the top of the glass. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Balanced resin with tropical stone fruit (peach/mango). Almost caramel-like sweetness mixed with tropical. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose. Combination of oaty malt and tropical into the aftertaste. Aftertaste is mostly stone fruit. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Likely similar in flavor to the Hopdouken, as it contains almost identical hops. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.25/5
