REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Poured hazy orange-peach into a pint glass. Unfiltered; lots of sediment at the bottom of the can. White head, trace lacing. 4.25/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus and stone fruit (including peach and mango) with complementing oaty malts. 4.25/5

Taste (40%): Starts with mix of soft oaty malt and tropical (mostly the latter), then a second wave of citrus and stone fruit hits. Aftertaste is mostly citrus. 4.5/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Laugh it Up, Fuzzball is very refreshing and has lovely tropical qualities that make me keep wanting more. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.35/5
