REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; a bunch of sediment at the bottom of the can. White head; some lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Lots of soft tropical, including tangerine and lemon, with complementing oaty malts. 4.5/5

Taste (40%): Follows the nose, predominantly tropical presence that starts out a tad watery but gradually increases. More soft tropical on the aftertaste. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Pleasing tropical presence in this one, and also way on the affordable side when compared to many other IPAs I get from the independent breweries. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.325/5
