REVIEW:
Appearance (5%): Poured hazy orange-peach into a pint glass. Unfiltered; sediment at the bottom of the can. Froth white head, good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical pineapple, peach, and other stone fruit with complementing malt backbone. 4/5

Taste (40%): More balanced tropical and malt initially, then the peach and other stone fruit shines through. Pleasing citrus pineapple and stone fruit aftertaste. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Just like International Relations last year, I got this beer more for the name. Loved the tropical presence here, very delicious. Makes me wonder if the real Prince Harry could be persuaded to serve this at some function. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.2/5
