REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Initially poured mostly clear golden into a pint glass, but with sediment at the bottom, the pour eventually becomes hazy. Frothy white head and some lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Pleasing tropical citrus and stone fruit. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Starts slightly dank/resiny, then intense tropical citrus and stone fruit with complementing malt backbone. Aftertaste continues with the tropical citrus and stone fruit. Very refreshing. 4.75/5

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

Overall (20%): An outstanding to world-class IPA. All of the tropical juiciness that I crave, with a very reasonable price. The refreshing experience makes me want to drink this all day. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.675/5
