REVIEW:

Appearance (5%): Pours hazy golden-light orange into a pint glass. Unfiltered. White head, good lacing. 4.5/5

Smell (25%): Tropical citrus tangerine, melon, and stone fruit, with more wheat-like malts. 4/5

Taste (40%): Blend of malt and tropical to start, with slight octane. Then a wave of lovely tropical citrus, guava, melon, and stone fruit. Aftertaste is tropical with wheat/oaty malts. Definitely fits the 9.2% ABV description. 4.25/5

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

Overall (20%): An excellent IPA. Tasty juicy tropical here; the initial wave of malt and slight octane blend in fairly well to enhance the experience. 4.25/5

Final Weighted Rating: 4.225/5
