REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Pours hazy light golden-orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment at the bottom of the can. White head; good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Dank-forward with tons of tropical citrus. Sweet orange/tangerine and lemon. Also some stone fruit. Complementing oaty malt. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Slight resin-forward, but then a burst of pleasing, intense citrus and stone fruit. The tropical seems to hit in multiple waves. Aftertaste is more tropical. Extremely refreshing. 5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-bodied; some carbonation. Very juicy with almost no dry tongue. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. Ridiculously awesome amount of citrus here; it's like drinking carbonated juice. Price is steep but the immense tropical flavor is worth it. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.838/5
