REVIEW:

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

Smell (25%): Soft peach and other stone fruit tropical with complementing oaty malt. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Slight malt-forward, then a wave of stone fruit and citrus tropical. Finishes as a tropical-malt mix. Trace octane detected, but nothing overpowering. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent to outstanding Double IPA. While the price made me slightly balk, it's still a delicious brew that brings lovely tropical qualities. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.325/5
