REVIEW:

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

Smell (25%): Inviting tropical stone fruit, including mango, papaya, and peach. Slight lupulin notes and complementing oaty malts. 4.75/5

Taste (40%): Soft tropical stone fruit to start, which gradually increases into the aftertaste. Add some citrus tangerine in the aftertaste. Extremely refreshing and juicy. Oaty malts perfectly complement. 5/5

Mouthfeel (10%): Medium-full bodied, some carbonation. Silky and velvety. Extremely juicy with virtually no dry tongue. 4.75/5

Overall (20%): A world-class IPA. Similar in experience to the first few Double IPAs I had from LCB, but this at a lower ABV and slightly more muted flavor. Still leaves me wanting more. Price is steep, but the beer is well worth trying for science. 4.75/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.838/5
