REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment at the bottom of the can. White head; trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Predominantly tropical citrus and stone fruit. Possibly orange, tangerine, mango, and/or lemon. Complementing oaty malt. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Slight malt-forward and a tad watery to start, then a ton of pleasing citrus and stone fruit. Tropical stays strong into the aftertaste. Like drinking carbonated juice. Extremely refreshing. 4.75/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; good carbonation. Very juicy with trace dry tongue. 4.5/5

Overall (20%): An outstanding to world-class IPA. Loving the big tropical flavors here. Just like Hoppiness Unlimited, a lot of tropical bliss, and worth getting (or trying for science at the very least) despite the higher price. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.7/5
